Installation 5.1 Rack installation Each device requires one rack unit for installation in a 19" rack. Please allow an additional 4" of rack depth for the rear panel connectors. Be sure that there is enough air space around the unit for cooling. To avoid overheating, do not place the unit on power amps, for example. 5.2 Audio connections You will need a large number of cables for the different applications. The illustrations below show the wiring of these cables. Be sure to use only high-grade cables. The audio connections of the MULTICOM PRO-XL, AUTOCOM PRO-XL and COMPOSER PRO-XL are electronically balanced to avoid hum problems.
