NSTALLATION
The icon can be used either free standing or installed in a rack. If it is to be frequently
transported we recommend that it is carried in a suitable flight case. Although very compact,
consideration must be given to the weight when installing or handling the product. The
DP1000 includes a power amplifier which necessitates the inclusion of heavy power
components. Consideration must also be given to the ventilation requirements of this model.
Details are given below. Dimension and weight details are provided on the following page.
To ensure your safety please read the IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS printed at
the beginning of this User Guide.

ONSOLE
The icon is a heavy piece of equipment due to the nature of the internal power supply and
power amplifier components. Always ensure that you are correctly positioned and grip
securely when lifting, moving or transporting the equipment. Lift the console at the centre of
its side lips or under the base. Avoid contact with and therefore possible damage to the
controls. Before operating the
icon ensure that it is stable and securely positioned. Failure to
ensure this may result in injury to yourself or damage to the equipment.

PERATION
Position the console on a secure flat surface such as the floor or a table. Do not operate the
console on soft furnishings such as a sofa, or on thick pile carpet which may restrict air flow
around the chassis. Ensure that the cables are positioned where they will not be stressed or
stepped on.
Do not obstruct the ventilation
slots or position the icon where the
air flow required for ventilation is
impeded. Cold air is sucked in
through the slots at the front of the
console and warm air blown out
through the side ventilation slots.

OUNTING
The icon is designed to be mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack by fitting a pair optional
rack ears. This is available through your dealer. Fitting instructions are supplied with the kit.
The console requires an 8U front panel space with additional space for the connectors which
plug into the rear (top when rack mounted). Make sure the rack is strong enough to take the
weight and that the equipment is securely mounted. Ensure adequate ventilation around the
unit.
F
LIGHTCASING
A flightcase is recommended if the console is to be frequently transported between venues.
There are many flightcase suppliers who can provide a case to satisfy your requirements.
Make sure the case provides adequate strength and protects the controls and exposed parts.
Do not operate the icon in the flightcase if the front and side ventilation slots are
obstructed. Failure to observe this may result in damage to the console.
Do not under any circumstances disassemble the console or attempt to drill
additional fixing holes. Side bracket fixing holes are provided under the side lips.
