7.2. Rear Mount
The KW-18 professional power amplifier can be mounted into a standard 19" rack case also at the rear side, providing a more
stable position. Lambda Labs recommends using both rear and front mounting of the KW-18 in every case! The dimensions
(mm) for the rear rack mounting is depicted on the drawings above. The rear width is 444 mm.
7.3. Ventilation
It is of utmost importance to ensure sufficient ventilation for the KW-18 professional amplifier unit! KW-18 uses forced air
cooling to ensure safe operating temperature inside the unit. This kind of cooling relies on sufficient fresh air supply. To
achieve this, KW-18 has air vents on its front panel, rear panel and on its sides. These air vents should never be covered!
Caution: For sufficient cooling, the dust filters on the front panel air vents must be always kept clean
and dry! For more information on cleaning the dust filters please refer to the Chapter 6.3 Dust Filter &
8 Maintenance in this manual!
[
CAUTION!
Attention: To further increase the cooling effect, Lambda Labs recommends using a blank 1RU 19"
perforated plate between the KW-18 units, if more KW-18 units are used in a rack!

ATTENTION!
