Bogen M-CLASS AMPLIFIER M450 - Manual (Page 8)

Installation
Ventilation
The M-Class was designed to be placed on a table or rack-mounted.When rack mounting, the amplifiers can
be stacked one on top of the other for maximum use of the rack.
An open air space of at least 4" must be provided at the front air intakes of the amplifier and the rear exhaust
must have at least 4" between itself and obstructions to ensure adequate cooling. This applies to both rack-
and table-mounted amplifiers.
Care should also be taken to ensure that the front intake air is not considerably warmer than the ambient air
temperature. Mount the amplifiers low in the rack so that heat dissipation from other equipment does not
warm the amplifier's intake air.
Rack Mounting
Rack ears are included with the amplifier to allow mounting in 19" racks. Attach the rack ears as shown in
Installation Components section. If any feet have been attached to the bottom of the amplifier, remove them. Load
the amplifier into the rack and secure it to the rack with appropriate hardware (not included).
Table Mounting
Feet are provided with the amplifier to allow it to be placed on a tabletop. Attach the included feet to the bot-
tom of the amplifier as shown. Attachment of the rack ears to the unit is optional and purely aesthetic.
