Speck Electronics SSM - Manual (Page 17)

Chapter 3 Installation Section 12
The following information should give you the basics on how to install
the Model SSM Main Unit, optional SSM Expander, and Model PS3
Power Supply. The proper installation of the SSM as a part of a larger
system requires a clear understanding of audio wiring, AC distribution,
grounding, and shielding techniques.
When the Model SSM is being installed into a larger system it may be
necessary to retain the services of someone experienced in these matters.
Before the mixer may be placed into its normal operating position, it
will be necessary to install the appropriate rack mount adapters.
The Model SSM may be installed in the vertical position using the
standard 19" rack mount adapters or may be mounted in a horizontal
(flat) position using the optional slide/tilt rack sliders. The mixer may
be installed into any 19" wide equipment rack that uses standard E.I.A.
universal spacing. The SSM and optional Expander may be affixed to
standard E.I.A. rack rails using (8) 10-32 machine screws.
The location of the SSM and Expander should be such that the operator
has a clear, unobstructed view of the front panels from his normal
operating position. The unit should also be within easy reach of the
operators normal position in order to facilitate the use of the front panel
controls.
Any device that emits a high EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) or
RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) energy field should be treated with
suspicion. EMI is considered any unwanted signal which adversely
affects the operation of the mixer or the mixing system. This subject is
discussed in Chapter 5.
Electronic equipment such as power amplifiers, power supplies
(especially wall mount type), video monitors, computers, certain synths
and samplers must be located away from the SSM Main Unit, the SSM
Expander, Assign 28, and their associated cables. It may be necessary to
alter the positions of certain equipment that you feel would cause buzzes
or hums in the mixer system.
