4.1 Unpack Your Amplifier
Please unpack and inspect your amplifier for
any damage that may have occurred during
transit. If damage is found, notify the
transpor tation company immediately. Only you
can ini tiate a claim for shipping damage. Crown
will be happy to help as needed. Save the
shipping carton as evidence of damage for the
shipper’s inspection.
We also recommend that you save all packing
materials so you will have them if you ever need
to transport the unit. Never ship the unit
without the factory pack.
YOU WILL NEED (not supplied):
• Input wiring cables
• Output wiring cables
• Flathead screwdriver
Rack for mounting amplifier (or a stable surface
for stacking)
WARNING: Before you start to set up
your amplifier, make sure you read and
observe the Important Safety Instruc-
tions found at the beginning of this
manual.
4.2 Install Your Amplifier
CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure
your amplifier is disconnected from the
power source and that all level controls
(see section 7.6) are set to 0.
The amplifier is 1.75” tall by 15.19” deep and
19” wide (see figure 4.2.1).
Mount the unit in a standard 19-inch (48.3-cm)
equipment rack (EIA RS-310B). You can also
place a single amp on a solid, stable surface or
stack multiple amps.
NOTE: When transporting, amplifiers should be
supported at both front and back.
4.3 Ensure Proper Cooling
When using an equipment rack, mount units
directly on top of each other. Close any open
spaces in the rack with blank panels. DO NOT
block front, top or side air vents.
The side walls of the rack should be a minimum
of two inches (5.1 cm) away from the amplifier
sides, and the back of the rack should be a
minimum of four inches (10.2 cm) from the
amplifier back panel. While the amplifier is
convection cooled and does not require a fan, it
is critical that the air vents are not covered.
