Installation - McIntosh MX135 Owner's Manual

Installation

The MX135 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 MX135 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 MX135 is removed from the custom instal-
lation and used free
standing. The re-
quired panel cutout,
ventilation cutout and
unit dimensions are
shown.
Always provide
adequate ventilation

Custom Cabinet Cutout
Cool operation en-
sures the longest pos-
sible operating life
for any electronic in-
strument. Do not in-
stall the MX135 di-
rectly above a heat
generating compo-
nent such as a high
powered amplifier. If
all the components
are installed in a
single cabinet, a quiet

fan can be a definite
asset in maintaining
all the system com-
ponents at the coolest
possible operating
temperature.
A custom cabinet
installation should
provide the following

dimensions for cool

least 2 inches
(5.08cm) above the
top, 2 inches
(5.08cm) below the
bottom and 1 inch
(2.54cm) on each
side of the A/V Control Center, so that airflow is not ob-
structed. Allow 21 inches (53.34cm) depth behind the front
panel. Allow 1 inch (2.54cm) 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
