Where to put it
The MX100 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. The four
feet may be removed for custom installations. The
four feet together with the mounting screws should
be retained for possible future use. Do not use
different size screws when re-installing the feet. With
the feet removed, the MX100 requires a ventilation
cutout. Dimensions for the panel cutout and bottom
ventilation cutout are shown in “Figure 02– Custom
cutout dimensions” on page 7.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your
MX100. Cool operation ensures the longest possible
operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not
install the MX100 directly above a heat generating
component such as a high-powered amplier. If all
the components are installed in a single cabinet, a
quiet running ventilation fan can be a denite 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:
• 2 inches (5.1cm) above the top
• 2 inches (5.1cm) below the bottom
• 1 inch (2.5cm) on each side of the MX100 so
that airow is not obstructed
• 20 inches (50.8cm) depth behind the front panel
• 1-7/16 inch (3.7cm) 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. See
Figure 02 on page 7.
