Installation

Page 10
For desktop applications, the AAM 1662 can be installed just about any-
where there is good air flow and normal indoor conditions. Please refer to
the cautions for exterior environments on page 3 of this manual.
For rack mounting, the AAM 1662 is designed to be installed in commercial
grade, EIA electronic equipment racks only. Installing this unit in non-EIA
racks or in other configurations is not recommended. Failure to install this
product in the proper enclosure may void your warranty.
The AAM 1662 is convection cooled, and care should be taken not to block
the air intake or exhaust path located on the sides of the unit. When
installed in EIA racks, the AAM 1662 can be installed adjacent to other
equipment without additional venting; however, it is recommended that
common sense be applied to large installations where multiple units are
mounted in a single rack. It is generally accepted that a ratio of one rack
vents for every two audio components is a good rule of thumb that usually
provides adequate performance. In installations where adverse conditions
exist, and room temperatures are likely to rise, additional vents should be
installed.
The AAM 1662 can be installed into any EIA rack with an internal depth
clearance of 18" or more. This will allow plenty of space for the unit, and its
associated wiring harness. When dressing off wiring harnesses, take care
and leave plenty of room for bends and terminations. Allow the cable to
progress naturally between components. Creating tightly wrapped wire
bundles can cause broken solder joints and defective terminations.
To successfully install your new AAM 1662, and perform the testing exam-
ples contained in this manual, you will need the following components:
One AAM 1662 mixer
•
A high quality balanced microphone and cable
•
A stereo line level audio source with connecting cables (CD player)
•
A two-channel power amplifier
•
Two high quality loudspeakers
•
In most audio systems, the minimum configuration consists of an input sig-
nal, gain amplifiers, distribution/routing circuits, signal processing, power
amplification and output transducers. Depending on your system, this may
consist of several products. When using the AAM 1662, at least one signal
source and output system are required to configure the minimum system.
Of course, most systems will include more inputs and outputs, but this is the
basic configuration required to work with this manual.
The use of high quality, audio cables is required to successfully implement
the AAM 1662 with professional audio systems.
