    Mounting the XPA Ultra Series Amplifiers The XPA Ultra Series amplifiers can be mounted in a rack using included rack ears, set on a table, mounted on a rack shelf, or mounted in the plenum space above a ceiling-mounted projector. Additionally, two XPA Ultra Series amplifiers can be connected using the included bridging plate to create a full rack-width unit.
  • Page 13: Rack Mounting

    The XPA Ultra Series amplifiers can be rack mounted using one of the following methods. Rack Ear Rack Mounting The XPA Ultra Series amplifiers ship with a set of rack ears so the half rack-width amplifiers can be installed in a full rack-width space.
  • Page 14 Bridge Plate Rack Mounting The XPA Ultra Series amplifiers ship with a bridge plate connector for connecting two XPA Ultra Series amplifiers together to form a full rack-width unit. Connect and mount two XPA Ultra Series amplifiers as follows: If feet were installed on the bottom of the amplifiers, remove them.
  • Page 15 Rack Shelf Mounting The XPA Ultra Series can be mounted in a shelf using the optional RSU 129 1U Universal Rack Shelf Kit or the RSB 129 1U Basic Rack Shelf. Mount the amplifier with the shelf as follows: If feet were installed on the bottom of the amplifier, remove them.
