RACK MOUNTING
The amplifiers are designed for standard 19" rack
SP Series
mounting as well as "stack" mounting without a cabinet. Use 4
screws and washers for mounting to the front rack rails. It is also
a good idea to support the amps also in the rear, especially for
mobile use where the amps will be subjected to shocks.
AMPLIFIER COOLING
Also pay close attention to the cooling requirements. Never block
the air vents in the back, side and front of the amplifier if the load
seen by amplifier is less than 4 ohms and the amplifier is being
run at high output levels. For best results, in such high output
powerapplications you should augment the amplifier's air flow
with a rack cooling system.
