2. Installing the MixRack

2.1 Free standing

The DM0 MixRack can be operated as a freestanding unit for shelf or floor operation. Check that its plastic

feet are fitted. Ensure adequate air flow around the unit. It must not be covered in any way. Always stand

the unit on a firm flat surface away from any soft furnishings or carpet.

2.2 Rack mounting and flight casing

The DM0 MixRack is designed as a 19 inch rack mount unit and occupies 4U of rack space. The plastic feet

may need to be removed before rack mounting; retain them for future use.

For rental, touring and other portable use, we recommend that you use a professional grade flight case

with shock mounted internal rack frame.

 Ensure natural convection of airflow around the unit by allowing good ventilation

below, in front of and behind the unit. Rack equipment known to produce a

significant amount of heat should not be mounted directly below the unit. Forced

convection by means of a rack mounted fan-tray may be desirable in situations

where space is restricted and the ambient air temperature is high.

2.3 Rack ears

The rack ears can be mounted facing either the front or rear panel to suit the application. They are secured

to the sides of the MixRack with 3 screws each as indicated below. Remove these screws using a Pozidriv

screwdriver to remove or reposition the rack ears.
