Installation
Place the speaker on a flat surface.
Remove the amplifier from the rear of
the speaker cabinet by loosening the
six M4 screws at the edge of the longer
sides. Take special care not to stress the
speaker cables that connect the amplifier
and speaker cabinet. Disconnect the
speaker cables from the amplifier.
Place the amplifier and the rack adapter
side by side on a flat surface.
Connect the rack adapter cables (see
fig 1 above) to the amplifier board.
Place the amplifier on the rack adapter

1 Treble and Midrange output connector (J4 Speaker Output Connector, 9 wires)
2 Bass output connector (J704 Speaker Output Connector, 5 wires)
chassis and fix it with six M4 screws
(see fig 2 overleaf). Ensure that the rack
adapter cables do not tighten or press
against any amplifier components.
Connect the Speakon cables to the rack
adapter (see fig. 2). Push the connector
in and turn it clockwise until the retaining
clip clicks.
The rack adapter can now be mounted
into a standard 19 inch rack. The adapter
chassis height is 12 U, but a well ven-
tilated free space of at least 1 U (4,45
cm) is required above and below to
ensure adequate cooling, making the
total space requirement of the assembly
14 U. Please notice that Speakon cable
connectors require additional 100 mm (4
inches) of space behind the amplifier.
Attach the speaker cable adapter to the
speaker box with four 4 x 12 mm screws
(see fig. 3 overleaf). Connect the speaker
cables and the Speakon cables to the
adapter.
Place the speaker into its recess. Now
the system is ready for operation.
