Install Rack Kit Installation Instructions

Introduction

This Install Rack Kit allows a DL32R mixer to be mounted in a standard 19" rack in a variety of ways. The alternate recessed front rack ears allow connections to be made in a rack with a closing front door. The rear rack ears can be used with either front ear configuration, and, when added, provide extra stability for installs and touring systems.

These allow the DL32R to be mounted in racks with rear rack rails between 19.5" – 24.75" [using the recessed front rack ears] or 16" – 21.125" [using the standard front rack ears] from the front rails measuring from mounting surface to mounting surface.

If only the rear rack ears will be attached, please continue on with the Rear Rack Ears – Procedure instructions on the next page. If the recessed front rack ears will be attached, as well, please start with the Front Rack Ears – Procedure below.

Front Rack Ears – Procedure

1. Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the eight screws – four screws on each side – on the front side of the mixer, as shown below. Hang on to these eight screws as they will be necessary when attaching the new, recessed rack ears (which is the next step!).

Place the removed rack ears in a safe place should you ever decide to use them again.

Before doing anything else...

• Turn off the mixer.

• Disconnect all cords.

• Remove mixer from the rack (if applicable).

Rear Rack Ears – Procedure

1. Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws – two screws on each side – on the rear side of the mixer, as shown below. Place the removed screws in a safe place should you ever decide to use them again.

4. Align the two rear rack ears – one on each side – to the outside of the ear brackets.

5. Loosely attach each rear rack ear to the rear rack rails with two rack screws 1 (not supplied).

Step 4

2. Using the hex key, attach the two bracket adapters – one on each side – on the rear side of the mixer through the fixed diameter holes using the M3 hex screws.

Step 5

6. Using the Phillips screwdriver, attach each bracket adapter to the corresponding rear rack ear with the

M4 Pan Phillips screws and locking washers, as shown below. Tighten the screws enough to securely engage the lock washers. In other words, tighten the screws only until the lock washers are seated flush to the metal.

CAUTION: It might be difficult to start thread engagement.

Be patient and keep screws as perpendicular to threads as possible. Over-torqueing the screws could strip the thread in the rack ear.

Please note the placement of the brackets and how the fixed diameter holes line up with the mixer. These holes are recessed so the screws will be flush with the bracket.

3. Place the mixer in the rack at the intended location and secure the front in place with four rack screws supplied).

1 (not

1 It is advised to only use large metal flat washers (or other non-deforming material flat washers) under rack mounting screws. Our experience is that the rubber like material washers shipped with some racks are destroyed over time by vibration in a mobile rack and can cause mounting hardware to loosen and fall out over time.

7. The rear rail mounting screws that were loosely attached in step 5 above may now be completely tightened.

8. Nice job, that’s it!
