Installation - C12000 Preamplifier

The C12000 Preamplifier can be placed upright on
a table or shelf, standing on its four feet. It also can
be custom installed in a piece of furniture or cabinet
of your choice. The four feet may be removed from
the bottom of the unit when it is custom installed as
10- "
3/4
outlined below. The four feet together with the mount-
27.3cm
ing screws should be retained for possible future use if
the C12000 Preamplifier is removed from the custom
installation and used free standing. The required panel
cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are
shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your
C12000 Preamplifier. Cool operation ensures the
longest possible operating life for any electronic
instrument. Do not install the C12000 Preamplifier
directly above a heat generating component such as a
high powered amplifier. Also do not stack the C12000
Controller on top of the C12000 Preamplifier. If all
the components are installed in a single cabinet, a
quiet running ventilation fan can be a definite asset in
maintaining all the system components at the coolest
possible operating temperature.
A custom cabinet installation should provide the
Chassis
following minimum spacing dimensions for cool
Spacers
operation.
Allow at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) above the top, 2
inches (5.1cm) below the bottom and 1 inch (2.5cm)
on each side of the Preamplifier, so that airflow is not
15 " obstructed. Allow 20 inches (50.8cm) depth behind the
-5/8
39.6cm
front panel. Allow 1-7/16 inch (3.7cm) in front of the
mounting panel for knob clearance. Be sure to cut out
a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf according to
the dimensions in the drawing.
