Installation

WARNING: The MA9500 is heavy (approx. 101 lbs).
Please get help when moving the unit, and
make sure your furniture or cabinetry is sturdy
enough to hold it.
The MA9500 can be placed upright on a table or shelf,
standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in
a piece of furniture or cabinet of your choice. The four feet
may be removed from the bottom of the MA9500 when it is
custom installed as outlined below. The four feet together
with the mounting screws should be retained for possible
future use if the MA9500 is removed from the custom
installation and used free standing. The required panel
cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your MA9500.
Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life
for any electronic instrument. Do not install the MA9500
directly above a heat generating component such as a high
powered amplifier. If all the components are installed in
a single cabinet, a quiet running ventilation fan can be a
definite asset in maintaining all the system components at
the coolest possible operating temperature.
A custom cabinet installation should provide the following
minimum spacing dimensions for cool operation.
Allow at least 6 inches (15.24cm) above the top, 2 inches
(5.08cm) below the bottom and 2 inches (5.1cm) on each
side of the Integrated Amplifier, so that airflow is not
obstructed. Allow 20 inches (50.8cm) depth behind the
front panel. Allow 1-7/6 inch (3.66cm) in front of the
mounting panel for knob clearance. Be sure to cut out a
ventilation hole in the mounting shelf according to the
dimensions in the drawing.
Notes:
1.
If you remove the feet from your unit, be sure not
to lose them, as they will need to be reattached if
you need to send the unit back for service.
2.
Use an appropriately-sized Phillips drill bit,
or you may cause damage to the screw heads,
making the feet impossible to remove.
