Installation
The MC301 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 MC301 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
MC301 is removed from the custom installation and
used free standing. The required panel cutout, ventila-
tion cutout and unit dimensions are shown.
Always provide adequate ventilation for your MC301.
Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating
life for any electronic instrument. Do not install the
MC301 directly above a heat generating component
such as a high powered amplifier. If all the compo-
nents are installed in a single cabinet, a quiet running
ventilation fan can be a definite asset in maintaining
all the system components at the coolest possible oper-
ating temperature.
A custom cabinet installation should provide the fol-
lowing minimum spacing dimensions for cool opera-
tion.
