INSTALLATION
5.1. Location, assembly, ventilation
MIMO SG series has been especially designed to be installed in a standard 19" rack, taking
up 1U.
It is very important not to enclose the MIMO SG or expose it to extreme temperatures as
it generates heat. It’s also necessary to promote the passage of fresh air through the
ventilation holes of the chassis, leaving at least one rack unit off between each device and
installed above and below it in the rack frame.
If the setup has several amplifiers in the same rack or in a closed cabinet with doors, it is
highly recommended to supply them forced ventilation, installing fans at the upper and
lower ends. This upward air flow will help to dissipate the heat generated inside.
5.2. Connection to an AC outlet and switching on
All models in the MIMO SG series operate under voltages between 90 and 264 V at 47 to
63 Hz. This device features an over dimensioned power supply that adapts to the mains
voltage in any country of the world with no need to make any adjustments.
On the rear panel, there is a power switch for the unit next to the IEC power connector.
On the front panel, a LED lights up when the unit is switched on.
The mains cables must not be near the shielded cables carrying the audio signal, as this
could cause humming.
5.3. Signal input connections
The rear panel of a MIMO SG unit offers 8 (MIMO88SG) or 12 (MIMO1212SG) balanced
analogue signal inputs, "IN", accepting both line and microphone level signals. Input signal
type selection and management are carried out from EclerNet Manager application.
Please refer to the EclerNet Manager software manual for more information.
Signal input connectors are 3 position screw terminal block. The wiring is:
