Installation
The MC207 can be placed upright on a table or shelf,
standing 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 MC207 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 MC207 is removed from the custom instal-
lation and used free standing. It also can be custom installed
in a piece of furni-
ture or cabinet of
your choice The re-
quired panel cutout,
ventilation cutout
and unit dimensions
are shown.
Always provide
adequate ventilation
for your MC207.
Cool operation en-
sures the longest
possible operating
life for any elec-
tronic instrument.
Do not install the
MC207 directly
above a heat gener-
ating component
such as a high pow-
ered amplifier. If all
the components are
installed in a single
cabinet, a quiet run-
ning ventilation fan
can be a definite as-
set in maintaining all
the system compo-
nents at the coolest
possible operating
temperature.
A custom cabinet
installation should
provide the follow-
ing minimum spac-
ing dimensions for
cool operation. Al-
low at least 6 inches
