SETTING-UP ADVICE
the rack.
The primary reason for grounding is safety. Conformance to the applicable requirements of
the authorities having jurisdiction is, of course, mandatory. However, grounding also has
an impact on electromagnetic compatibility. From the EMC point of view, it is desirable to
have a low impedance ground network, as a current flowing in the ground network will
then produce low voltage in the network. A low impedance network can be obtained using
a multipoint ground scheme, with as many closed ground loops as is economically possible.
Because of the amplifier weight, it is mandatory to fix the amplifier both from the front
panel and from the rear ears. The picture bellow shows the dimensions between the rack
holes on the front panel.
Because of this layout, it is not possible to use some rack rails with 2 holes per rack unit
(see picture bellow), because you will loose ½ U of rack space on the top and bottom of
the amplifier. Thus continuous rack rails or with 4 holes per rack unit should be used.
