13Installing the A-16T or A-16Rin a RackThe A-16T Transmitter and A-16R Personal Mixer are designed to be installed in astandard 19-inch audio equipment rack. This design is both for easy transportationof the units and for protection. Each unit takes up one standard rack space (19 incheswide by 1.75 inches high). Optionally, you can place the units on a table top or otherflat surface such as a shelf.The rack ears on each side of the device are designed to support the weight of theA-16T or A-16R without additional hardware. Each rack ear contains holes for twoscrews per side. Always support the unit with all four screws.To rack mount the A-16T Transmitter or A-16R Personal Mixer, position it in theequipment rack at the desired location. Use standard rack-mounting screws (10-32size) to attach the unit to your rack hardware. Tighten all four screws firmly, butavoid overtightening.You may want to use non-metallic washers between the rack-mounting screws and thedevice’s finished surface to avoid marring the painted finish on your Aviom products.Always allow adequate ventilation for devices mounted in equipment racks. Avoidplacing your A-16T and/or A-16R directly above or below other rack-mounted gearthat produces high levels of heat, such as power amps.Channel LabelsFor writing channel information or names on the A-16R Personal Mixer (or A-16CS)label surface or “scribble strip”, we suggest using a china marker or other easilyremoved marking device. A china marker is designed for marking on plastic, metal,glass, wood, and paper. These are available at most office supply outlets. Avoid theuse of permanent markers.Mixer Label StripTo clean the label writing area on the A-16R Mixer, use a soft clean cloth to removemost types of temporary marking material. For difficult-to-remove types of markingdevices, a cotton swab moistened with a drop of rubbing alcohol can be used. Use theminimum amount possible to remove the writing.
