Speck Electronics EQ16 - Manual (Page 11)

The following information should give you the basics on how to install
the Model EQ16 and Power Supply. The proper installation of the
Model EQ16 as a part of a larger system requires a clear understanding
of audio wiring, AC distribution, grounding, and shielding techniques.
When the EQ16 is being installed into a larger system it may be
necessary to retain the services of someone experienced in these matters.
Before the EQ16 may be placed into its normal operating position, it
will be necessary to install the rack mount adapters.
The Model EQ16 may be installed into any 19" wide equipment rack
that uses standard E.I.A. universal spacing. The EQ16 may be affixed to
standard E.I.A. rack rails using (4) 10-32 machine screws.
The location of the EQ16 should be such that the operator has a clear,
unobstructed view of the front panel 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 equalizer 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 EQ16 and its associated
cables. It may be necessary to alter the positions of certain equipment
that you feel would cause buzzes or hums in your audio system.
The PS3-0.8 power supply is supplied with the EQ16-16 (16 mono
channel version), and the higher powered PS3-1.5 is supplied with the
EQ16-32 (16 stereo channel version).
If you happen to be installing both versions of the Model EQ16 into
your system, it is extremely important that the PS3-0.8 supply only
be connected to the EQ16-16 and the PS3-1.5 only be connected to
the EQ16-32.
