5.3. Mounting the Gold Solo Whistle
The Gold Solo Whistle was designed for mounting on a surface. When integrating the Gold Solo
Whistle into a device, be sure to leave about 1 cm (0.4") outward from the heat-sink to enable free
air convection around the drive. If the Gold Solo Whistle is enclosed in a metal chassis, we
recommend that the Gold Solo Whistle be screw-mounted to it to help with heat dissipation. The
Gold Solo Whistle has screw-mount holes on each corner of the heat-sink for this purpose – see
below.

When the Gold Solo Whistle is not connected to a metal chassis, the application’s thermal profile
may require a solution for heat dissipation due to insufficient air convection. In this case, we
recommend that you connect an external heat-sink. Elmo has an external heat-sink (Catalog
number: WHI-HEATSINK-2) that can be ordered for this purpose – see below.
