Installation
Installation
The C220 can be placed upright on a table or shelf, stand-
ing 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 C220 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 C220 is removed from the custom instal-
lation and used free
standing. The re-
quired panel cutout,
ventilation cutout and
unit dimensions are
shown.
Always provide
adequate ventilation
for your C220. Cool
operation ensures
the longest possible
operating life for any
electronic instrument.
Do not install the
C220 directly above a
heat generating com-
ponent 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 com-
ponents at the coolest
possible operating
temperature.
A custom cabinet
installation should
provide the following
minimum spacing
dimensions for cool
operation.
Allow at least 6 inch-
es (15.24cm) above
the top, 2 inches
(5.08cm) below the
bottom and 1 inch
(2.54cm) on each side
of the Tube Preamplifier, so that airflow is not obstructed.
Allow 19-1/2 inches (49.53cm) depth behind the front
panel. Allow 1-1/8 inch (2.9cm) in front of the mounting
panel for knob clearance. Be sure to cut out a ventilation
hole in the mounting shelf according to the dimensions in
the drawing.
