INSTALLATION

The AEQ FORUM can be installed either as a table-top unit or countersunk in the Studio

furniture woodwork:

•

Table-top installation. A flat and even area with the minimum dimensions of the proper

equipment is required (W 702mm / D 548mm / H 135mm). It is however recommended to

allow for an additional 20 cms of depth in order to provide sufficient space at the rear of

the mixer to facilitate the cabling.

•

Countersunk installation. It should be added to the delivery of the equipment a pair of

metal profiles for this purpose. For this type of installation, the required cut-out

dimensions should be consulted.

In any case, it's recommended to avoid extreme temperature or humidity in the installation area,

as well as strong electromagnetic fields.

AEQ FORUM is very apt for use in studios and for self-control applications since its design does

not contemplate fans and its operation is completely silent.
