Rack Mounting
The unit requires at least 11U* of rack space. To take into
account the cable connections, we recommend to ensure at least
13U* of rack space.
* 11U corresponds to about 489mm and 13U is about 578mm.
Precautions for Rack Mounting
This unit is rated for operation at ambient temperatures ranging
from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. If you install this unit along with
other devices in a poorly ventilated rack, the ambient temperature
inside the rack may rise, resulting in inefficient performance.
Be sure to rack-mount in the following conditions so the unit does
not overheat.
• When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as power
amplifiers that generate a significant amount of heat, leave
more than 1U of space between the MGP and other equipment.
Also either leave the open spaces uncovered or install appropri-
ate ventilating panels to minimize the possibility of heat
buildup.
• To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the rear of the rack open and
position it at least 10 centimeters from walls or other surfaces.
If the rear of the rack cannot be left open, install a commer-
cially available fan or similar ventilating option to secure suffi-
cient airflow. If you’ve installed a fan kit, there may be cases in
which closing the rear of the rack will produce a greater cool-
ing effect. Refer to the rack and/or fan unit manual for details.
Mounting the MGP16X/MGP12X
1. Two metal rack-mount brackets are screwed
onto the unit. Use a screwdriver to remove
these brackets.
2. Turn the brackets over, and fasten them into
place again using the same screws.
Fasten them to the mixer in order (as shown): q center,
w front, and e back.
CAUTION
Be sure to use the same screws that were removed in step
1. Using other screws can cause damage.
