Equipment Rack Mounting - Acurus Muse Operating Manual And Installer Manual

Installation advise
The MUSE was designed for both rack-mount and shelf-
mount applications. The MUSE includes feet for shelf
placement. These feet are removable in order to attach
ears for rack mounting. This section provides instructions
for proper installation and setup.
General Guidelines
When planning an MUSE installation, keep the following
guidelines in mind:
It is ALWAYS advisable to:
1. Provide ample air space to the sides and rear of the
unit (1-2 inches is the minimum preferred). It is not
necessary to provide additional space above or below
the unit.
2. Avoid obstructing air flow through the side-facing
ventilation slits on the left and right sides of the MUSE
unit.
3. Locate the unit near an AC power outlet or power
conditioner and avoid using extension cords or power
strips.
4. Locate the pre-amp processor as close as possible to
audio source units such as optical disc players, set
top boxes or music servers.
5. Whenever possible, plug audio source units into the
same power outlet or power conditioner as the MUSE.
6. Use as short length wire leads as practical, especially
on the pre-amp processor inputs.
It is NEVER advisable to:
1. Enclose the unit in a rack or cabinet without air flow or
adequate ventilation, particularly across the air vents
along each side of the unit.
2. Place the unit near a source of moisture such as a
window or a live plant.
3. Place the pre-amp processor on a carpeted surface.
4. Remove the safety ground connector from the AC
mains cord.
