Appendix D: Rack Ear Installation - Mackie ONYX 1220i Owner's Manual

Appendix D: Rack Ear installation instructions
The optional Rack Ear Kit allows the Onyx 1220i
mixer to be mounted in a standard 19" rack. It will be
out of harm's way and the band may continue tearin' it
up without fearing any consequences. The mixer takes
up ten rack spaces. Be sure to allow for an extra space
or two above to make connections. The kit contains two
rack ear brackets and six black screws (M3.5 x 8mm).
Tools Required:
One phillips screwdriver, a comfy chair, a bowl of cereal
with milk and bananas (or strawberries, your choice),
toast, and a glass of orange juice (optional).
Procedure:
1. Turn off the mixer and disconnect all cords.
2. Place the mixer face up on a soft and dry flat
surface.
3. Remove the six silver screws as shown below,
place them in the shoe box housing all of those
old baseball cards, and keep them in a safe
place for further use.
4. Using only the new screws supplied, secure
the rack ear brackets to each side of the mixer
as shown. Hand-tighten the screws securely.
The brackets are NOT identical. The right side
bracket has an 'R' on the inside of the bracket
flange (see drawing below).
5. Offer up the mixer to the rack and secure it
in place with four rack screws (not supplied).
Remember to leave enough room at the top to
attach the AC power cord and any other con-
nections needed.
6. Relax, you did it! Break out the cereal, frosty
glass of orange juice, the buttered-just-right
toast, and plant your bottom on that comfy
chair of yours and enjoy the sweet taste of
success!
