The MX122 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 MX122 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
MX122 is removed from the custom installation and
used free standing. The required panel cutout, ventila-
tion cutout and unit dimensions are shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your
MX122. Cool operation ensures the longest possible
operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not
install the MX122 directly above a heat generating
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.
When the MX122 is placed free-standing on a flat
surface, allow at least 2 inches (5.08cm) above the
top and 2 inches (5.08cm) on each side, so airflow is
not obstructed. Allow 19-1/2 inches (49.53cm) depth
behind the front panel. Allow 1-7/16 inch (3.66cm) in
front of the mounting panel for knob clearance.
A custom cabinet installation should provide the
minimum spacing dimensions for cool operation. Al-
low at least 2 inches (5.08cm) above the top, 2 inches
(5.08cm) below the bottom and 2 inches (5.08cm) on
each side, so airflow is not obstructed. The Custom
Cabinet should be open backed and at least 12 inches
(30.48cm) away from any surface such as a wall. Be
sure to cut out a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf
according to the dimensions in the drawing. Allow
1-7/16 inch (3.66cm) in front of the mounting panel for
knob clearance.
