Connect the Speakon cables to the rack
adapter (see fig. 2). Push the connector
in and turn it clockwise until the retaining
clip clicks.
The rack adapter can now be mounted
into a standard 19 inch rack. The adapter
chassis height is 12 U, but a well ven-
tilated free space of at least 1 U (4,45
cm) is required above and below to
ensure adequate cooling, making the
total space requirement of the assembly
14 U. Please notice that Speakon cable
connectors require additional 100 mm (4
inches) of space behind the amplifier.
Attach the speaker cable adapter to the
speaker box with four 4 x 12 mm screws
(see fig. 3 overleaf). Connect the speaker
cables and the Speakon cables to the
adapter.
Place the speaker into its recess. Now
the system is ready for operation.
