Speaker outputs The speaker output terminals consist of a 4-pin terminal (Phoenix Contact MSTBVA 2.5/4-G-5.08 or similar) having two output terminals, each output...
Installation The amplifier has two different mounting options: a) in a standard 19” A/V rack and b) on a solid flat surface. Rack mount Detachable rack ears are included with the product for mounting in a standard 19” rack. Please see the illustrations below for rack possibilities. A single amplifier can be mounted using a regular short rack ear in one side and a long rack ear in the other side.
