11Installing the A-16R ina RackThe A-16R Personal Mixer is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch audio equipment rack. This design is both for easy transportationof the units and for protection in a permanent installation. Each unittakes up one standard rack space (19 inches wide by 1.75 inches high).Optionally, you can place the units on a table top or other flat surfacesuch as a shelf.The rack ears on each side of the device are designed to supportthe weight of the A-16R without additional hardware. Each rack earcontains holes for two screws per side. Always support the unit withall four screws.To rack mount the A-16R Personal Mixer, position it in the equipmentrack at the desired location. Use standard rack-mounting screws (10-32size) to attach the unit to your rack hardware. Tighten all four screwsfirmly, but avoid overtightening.You may want to use non-metallic washers between the rack-mountingscrews and the device’s finished surface to avoid marring the paintedfinish on your Aviom products.Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipmentracks. Avoid placing your A-16R Personal Mixer directly above orbelow other rack-mounted gear that produces high levels of heat, suchas power amps.Channel LabelsFor writing channel information or names on the A-16R PersonalMixer (or A-16CS) label surface or “scribble strip”, we suggest using achina marker or other easily removed marking device. A china markeris designed for marking on plastic, metal, glass, wood, and paper.These are available at most office supply outlets. Avoid the use ofpermanent markers. Optionally a strip of removable artist’s tape canbe used instead of writing directly on the product’s surface.A-16RA-Net Mixer1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16Mixer Label Strip
