The PS3 offers a variety of mounting options. The power supply may
be placed on any flat surface, permanently affixed to a flat surface, or
mounted on a single rack rail with the optional rack mount adapter.

One of the primary reasons that the power supply of the EQ16 is
external is to insure that the power transformer enclosed within the
power supply chassis maintains a safe distance from the active
electronics of the EQ16. For that matter, any power supply (especially
the small wall mount supplies), power amplifiers, or any strong power
field device should be kept at a reasonable distance from the EQ16. It is
also important to keep the above mentioned devices clear of all interface
cables, audio cables and harnesses.

The external power supply for the EQ16 does not provide an AC power
switch. It is recommended the power supply be plugged into an AC
outlet that uses a power switch.

The power supply should not be installed directly above or below the
equalizer. It is recommended that it be installed in the rear of the
equipment rack, providing that it remains at a reasonable distance from
the audio equipment and cables, and has adequate ventilation.

The power supply normally generates a small amount of heat during
operation. It is important that adequate ventilation is provided when
planning the mounting location.

The power supply may be wired to operate with 100 VAC, 120 VAC,
220 VAC, 230 VAC, or 240 VAC 50/60hz. Before applying AC power,
you should verify that the voltage setting on your power supply is
configured to match the AC requirements of your country. This
procedure should be performed and checked by a qualified technician.

Unless otherwise specified on the panel of the supply, the power supply
is wired for 120 VAC 50/60Hz operation and uses a North American
style AC plug.

To gain access to the inside of the power supply, it will be necessary to
remove the top cover. This is accomplished by removing the 4 screws
on the bottom of the power supply chassis. Make certain that the power
supply is unplugged before proceeding.
