5. INSTALLATION
5.1. Location, set up, ventilation
The PLAYER DUO-NET has been especially designed to be installed in a standard 19"
rack, taking up 1U.
In professional installations it is highly recommended to locate the device in the same
rack as the sound sources.
Since its power consumption is very low, forced ventilation is not necessary. However,
avoid exposing the device to extreme temperature and the environment in which it is
placed should be as dry and clean (no dust) as possible
