Rack Mounting; Furniture Or Projector Mounting - Extron electronics VersaTools 5A RCA User Manual

Introduction
The Extron MDA 5 Series of Mini Distribution Amplifiers (MDAs)
are a family of three video and audio distribution amplifiers. The
MDA are members of the Extron VersaTools™ line of basic
distribution amplifiers, switchers, and associated video
accessories.
The MDA 5V distributes buffered composite video, the MDA 5SV
distributes buffered S-video (luminance (Y) and chrominance
(C)), and the MDA 5A RCA distributes amplified stereo audio, on
RCA outputs.
The MDAs ship with external, desktop 12V power supplies,
which accept 100-240VAC input.
Installation
The MDA 5V, 5SV, and 5A RCA can be mounted on a rack shelf,
under a desk or tabletop, or on a projector bracket.

the standard rack shelf, the MDA mounts in one of four locations
