Installation
The MA/MAC6700 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 MA/MAC6700 when it is custom installed as
outlined below. The four feet together with the mount-
ing screws should be retained for possible future use
if the MA/MAC6700 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 MA/
MAC6700. Cool operation ensures the longest possi-
ble operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not
install the MA/MAC6700 directly above a heat gener-
ating 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 inch (5.1cm)
on each side of the Integrated Amplifier, so that air-
flow 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.
