AUDIO SYSTEM INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Before any actual installation is started, the following points should be studied care-
fu Ily, physical location of all components shou Id be decided and cable routing should
be determined. Only after these plans have been completed, may installation be made
in an orderly manner.
The transformer panel is
5.1/4"
x
19"
and can be rock mounted. If desired, it may be
mounted in a small wall box or under the base of a desk. Ample ventilation must be
provided since the unit generates some heat. When rack mounted, the panel is designed
for natural convection cooling.
If
the ambient temperature of the rack is below 50°C.
(122°F.) the rock does not need forced air ventilation.
Cable routing of external connections of various signal levels is of prime importance.
The low level microphone input cables should be cabled separate from all the other
level cables.
If
it is necessary to use cables of different levels in a common conduit, the difference
between the lowest and the highest level in the two cables should not be greater
than 40 dB.
Phys ica I isolation is the best way to avoid trouble between para lIel cables. Six
inches or more spacing is preferred.
The console grounding system is based on the one point ground. Different circuit
grounds are insulated from the chassis and go directly to the ground stud located at
the right end of the cabinet. Connect the station ground to the cabinet ground stud.
External grounds connected to circuit grounds in the console will destroy this system.
A shield ground bus in provided by the side of each of the input and output terminal
blocks of the console. All incoming and outgoing shields must be connected to these
busses.
