5. INSTALLATION
5.1. Location, set up and ventilation
The eCOMPACT4BT has been specially designed to be used both as a desktop
mixer and a 19" rackmount unit, occupying three rack spaces with optional rack
mounting kit 3URMKIT.
The eCOMPACT4BT does not require ventilation due to its low power
consumption, however, it is recommended that the unit not be completely
enclosed or exposed to extreme temperatures. Fresh air should be allowed to pass
through the ventilation holes in the chassis, leaving at least one free rack unit
between each device and those installed above and below it in the rack.
If multiple products are installed in the same rack or in a cabinet with closed
doors, it is highly recommended to install fans in their upper and lower ends for a
forced airflow from the bottom up. This upward air flow will help to dissipate heat
generated inside.
5.2. AC connection and powering on
The eCOMPACT4BT is powered by alternating current (AC) through its external
power supply: 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. This external power supply has several
interchangeable connectors: American, European, British and Chinese.
On the rear panel, the power on/off switch is next to the external power supply
connector. On the front panel, a POWER LED lights up when the unit is running.
To avoid buzzing, do not allow the external power supply cable to intertwine with
and run parallel to the audio shielded cables.
