FX Amplifier • Operating Manual
3. Installation
Note: The rack mounting and desk/wall
mounting components described and
illustrated in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 are not
supplied with FX amplifiers but are available
to purchase as accessories. Contact your
amplifier re-seller for more information.
3.1 FX Mounting
FX 1/2 rack amplifiers are shipped without
rack mount hardware. A rack-mount kit can
be purchased separately and configured as
illustrated in Diagram 3a.
The installation and equipment rack should be
configured to provide appropriate ventilation
airflow space around the sides and rear of the
amplifier as illustrated in Diagrams 1a and 1b.
Ventilation airflow space of at least 25 mm (1
in) should be maintained along at least one
side of the amplifier at all times. Ventilation
apertures are also located on the rear panel of
the amplifier and must not be obstructed. It is
important to retain at least 80 mm (3.1 in) free
space for airflow behind the amplifier rear panel.
In addition to rack mount ears, optional rack
mount rear support hardware is available and
can be attached to the amplifier. Rear support
hardware may be appropriate if the amplifier is to
be used in a mobile rack or potentially be subject
to significant movement. Diagram 3b illustrates
the use of rack mount rear support hardware.
Two FX amplifiers can be mechanically joined
using the connection plate as illustrated in
Diagram 3c. The connection plate is included
with the FA1.2RM kit. Two small rack ears are
included in the same kit for rack mounting two
joined FX amplifiers.
