Mounting
Rack Mounting
When stacking equipment in a rack, the mixer should either be on the bottom of the stack or above
equipment that does not produce heat. A rack mount bracket kit (model RPK87) is available for the Power
Vector mixer.
Shelf/Table Mounting
When using a shelf or table mount, the mixer should stand alone with no equipment on top of it or below it.
If the mixer must be stacked with other equipment, care must be taken to ensure that all the minimum clear-
ance distances are met and that the equipment below the mixer produces little significant heat. Rubber feet are
installed on the mixer to allow it to be placed on a tabletop.
Module Installation
Eight module bays are available to accept Bogen’s new advanced input modules. Module bays 7 & 8 can also
accommodate Bogen’s new advanced output modules, thereby allowing users to customize the mixer to suit
the needs of the installation. (The bays will not accept Bogen’s older style plug-in modules.)
Before installing a module, read the instructions included with the module and make the desired jumper setting
changes.
The modules are installed by simply sliding them along the card guides inside the module bays until the
faceplate firmly sits against the chassis, then use the two screws supplied with the module to secure it to the
chassis.
Modules should slide in easily.
Output modules will not fit in bays
1-6.
Output modules can only be installed in bays 7 & 8.
Output modules have 8 contacts on each side.
Input modules have 6 contacts on each side.
Older style Bogen input modules (4
1
/2" in length) are
not usable.
