Speck Electronics Xtramix - Manual (Page 14)

The following information should give you the basics on how to install
the Xtramix and Power Supply. The proper installation of the Xtramix
as a part of a larger system requires a clear understanding of audio
wiring, AC distribution, grounding, and shielding techniques.
When the Xtramix 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 rack mount adapters.
The Xtramix may be installed into any 19" wide equipment rack that
uses standard E.I.A. universal spacing. The Xtramix may be affixed to
standard E.I.A. rack rails using (4) 10-32 machine screws.
The location of the Xtramix 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 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 Xtramix and its 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.
The Xtramix is supplied with the Model PS3-1.5 power supply that
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.
