2.1.3. VENTILATION GRILLE
The base of the equipment and the top of the control surface have micro-perforations to allow
the passing of a stream of air naturally created by convection due to the heat dissipated by the
equipment electronics.
The AEQ FORUM design does not include a fan or mechanical heat sink thus ensuring silent
operation, perfect for self-control facilities or applications that require absolute silence.
The right side of the vent area integrates a CUE speaker.
The distance form the equipment base to the table top has to be respected by at least the
height of the equipment rubber feet and it is paramount not to obstruct the ventilation grille on
the top of the control surface.
2.1.4. Wrist-rest and side trims
The AEQ FORUM has a frame around the sides and bottom of the control surface, forming part
of the chassis that houses all the electronics. This framework is transformed into a wrist-rest at
the bottom.
AEQ FORUM.
NOTE: the colours associated with wrist and side trims are subject to change depending on the
console version requested.
The standard AEQ FORUM is delivered with wooden side trims and a wrist-rest for desktop
installation of the mixer. As an option, the AEQ FORUM can be provided without the side trims
and with L-shaped metal profiles to allow the countersunk installation of the mixing console.
