Mounting the M7
How to Mount the M7
The M7.0 measures 19” wide by 1 ¾” high by 10” deep. It can rest on any surface or table, or
can be mounted in a standard 19” relay rack. Do not install the M7 directly above any equipment
that produces significant amounts of heat (such as power amps, or tube compressors, eq’s, mic
pre’s etc). Maximum ambient operating temperature is 40C and care must be taken to mount the
M7 in a cool place.
Ventilation is critical to a long, trouble free life for your M7. The M7 has a temperature
controlled cooling fan and tuned ventilation for optimal cooling at low and very quiet fan speeds.
Care must be taken not to block the ventilation holes in the sides and rear of the chassis. Doing
so could cause the M7 to overheat, not perform as specified, and shorten its life.
Although the M7 is a 1U high product, we recommend allowing a minimum of a half a rack space
above and below the M7 when mounting it, and the use of ventilated rack fillers, making the
installation a minimum 2U. This will allow for the best thermal performance and longest product
life.
If the M7 is mounted in a rack or road case, we recommend that you provide support for the rear
of the unit during transport to prevent possible damage from severe mechanical shock. Also, care
should be taken for proper venting in such an enclosure as suggested above.
Power Requirements
The M7 is equipped with a three pin IEC connector and detachable power cord, providing chassis
ground to the AC mains line. The M7 is designed with two power supplies: a separate linear
analog power supply for the analog section and a state of the art digital power supply for the
digital section. Both can be operated at any voltage from 100-240 Vac., 50 or 60 Hz, but care
must be taken if a voltage change is required. The unit is supplied configured to the correct
voltage and power cord for the country of destination and local power. If you take your unit to
another country with different line voltage you must change the fuse and internal power supply
jumper for the linear supply and use the correct power cord for the voltage
Warning !
DO NOT APPLY POWER OTHER THAN WHAT IS SPECIFIED ON THE UNIT AS
SHIPPED FROM THE MAUNUFACTURER. DOING SO WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
POWER SUPPLIES AND VOID YOUR WARRENTY.
If a change is required, contact your dealer or distributor for the correct Bricasti part and technical
support.
