will be safely out of the way to avoid snagging, yanking, or crushing.

2. Attach the 4 included adhesive feet to the bottom of the amplifier. The 4 feet should be

attached near the 4 corners.

3. Place the amplifier on the surface.

Advance to the connect the amplifier procedure on page 12.

1. Verify the surface is flat and level, and that the amplifier’s power cord and connections

will be safely out of the way to avoid snagging, yanking, or crushing.

2. Use the included screws to fasten the 4 surface mounting brackets to the 4 attachment

points on the bottom of the amplifier.

Note: Use only the provided M3 x 5mm screws. Using incorrect screws may damage the

device.

Install Option: A single amplifier in a 19-inch AV rack

Install a single amplifier by itself in an AV equipment rack using the included single-device

mounting bracket and the device mounting bracket.

4x –M4 x 8mm screws

1. Verify the installation rack space meets the temperature and spacing requirements in

the Installation Considerations section on page 2.

2. Attach the single-unit mounting bracket to the left or right side of the amplifier.

3. Attach the device mounting bracket to the opposite side of the amplifier.

4. Place the amplifier in the rack and use 2 of the included screws to secure the mounting

plate to the rack.

Advance to the Connect the Amplifier procedure on page 12.

10 Voltera Amplifiers Installation and Setup Guide

Option: Dual devices in a 19-inch rack

Install two amplifiers side by side in a standard AV rack using the device mounting bracket
