X-Frame 88 Designer's Manual
™
CAUTION!
The X-Frame 88 is designed to work in conjunction with other MediaMatrix brand products. The digital interface between
®
the X-Frame 88 and expansion products is a crucial link in the successful implementation of your system. Use only high quali-
ty Category 5 cables when using the X-Frame 88 with the MM -8802 break-out box or additional X-Frame 88s.
™ ™
If you are using the legacy MM-8830, MM-8840 or MM-8848 break-out box, you must use the Peavey 9-pin legacy cable only.
The X-Frame 88 will not perform properly if other 9-pin cables are used with legacy products.
Installing the X-Frame 88 with inferior or improper cables could also cause damage to the components in your sound system.
Peavey will not be held liable for damage to components or transducers caused by improper use of interface cabling when
using MediaMatrix products.
Like other electronic systems, the infrastructure is critical for implementing large systems that transverse large distances. It is
important that your conduit systems, wire plants and connector complement are properly designed and installed. The wiring
and cabling systems should be thoroughly inspected and each run certified to pass the specified bandwidth prior to the instal-
lation of any active electronic component. Failure to implement proper cabling systems may cause your system to perform at
inferior levels.
Several associated optional products may be used to complete a working system using the X-Frame 88. This manual frequent-
ly makes reference to these products, but does not provide specific configuration or installation information on them. Please
refer to the manuals for these products for information. Every product, both Peavey products and third party devices, must be
properly installed for the X-Frame 88 to operate in accordance with its published specification.
This product is fan-cooled with an exhaust fan on one side of the unit. Air is drawn inward from the other side. Do not block
the fan or any vents when installing this product. Proper cooling is essential to maintain proper operation and long-term sta-
bility in this product. Install this product in EIA approved equipment racks only.
