Rack Mounting the Onyx 1640
The Rack Ear brackets supplied with the Onyx 1640 allow the mixer to be mounted in a standard 19" rack. The mixer will take up 14 rack spaces in its normal Pod position, and you should allow an extra 1 or 2 rack spaces above to make your connections. (If you have rear-mounted the Pod, the mixer will take up 12 rack spaces.) The mixer comes with a left and a right rack ear bracket, and a little plastic bag containing six countersunk screws (longer than the original screws).
Tools Required:
One Phillips screwdriver.
Procedure:
1. 2. 3. Turn off the mixer, and disconnect the power cord, and all connecting cords. Place the mixer face up on a soft and dry �at surface. Remove the six screws as shown below, and keep them in a safe place for further use. Do not remove all the screws on each side, as two remain in place as shown. If you are not planning on using the old screws again, take them down to your local recycling plant. They may give you some money just to go away.
Left Bracket
Right Bracket 4. Using only the new screws supplied, secure the rack ear brackets to each side of the mixer as shown. Hand-tighten the screws securely. The brackets are marked left and right, so make sure they go on the correct side. Offer up the mixer to your rack and secure it in place with eight rack screws (not supplied). Remember to leave enough room at the top so you can easily make your connections. That's about it really. Take the rest of the day off � you have done well.
