Installation
The MC206 can be placed upright on a table or shelf,
standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in a
piece of furniture or cabinet of your choice. The four feet
may be removed from the bottom of the MC206 when it is
custom installed as outlined below. The four feet together
with the mounting screws should be retained for possible
future use if the MC206 is removed from the custom instal-
lation and used free standing. It also can be custom in-
stalled in a piece of
furniture or cabinet
of your choice The
required panel cut-
out, ventilation cut-
out and unit dimen-
sions are shown.
Always provide
adequate ventilation
for your MC206.
Cool operation en-
sures the longest
possible operating
life for any elec-
tronic instrument.
Do not install the
MC206 directly
above a heat gener-
ating component
such as a high pow-
ered amplifier. If all
the components are
installed in a single
cabinet, a quiet run-
ning ventilation fan
can be a definite as-
set in maintaining
all the system com-
ponents at the
coolest possible op-
erating temperature.
A custom cabinet
installation should
provide the follow-
ing minimum spac-
ing dimensions for
cool operation. Al-
low at least 6 inches
(15.24cm) above the
top, 2 inches
(3.81cm) below the
bottom and 1 inch
