2. Installation

The Apogee DLX24 can be mounted in a standard 19" rack (482.6 mm) taking up one rack unit height
(44 mm). For professional use it is recommended to place the processor in the same rack as the power
amplifiers. Given the small power consumption of the unit, no ventilation is required. Nevertheless, it is advisable
not to expose the unit to extreme temperatures, and to ensure a dry and dust-free operating environment.
It is important not to place the processor next to electrical noise sources such as transformers, voltage
dimmers, motors, etc., or their mains supply cables. The metal cover of the device should never be removed
under any circumstance.
The unit operates with AC MAINS between 100–240V at 50 to 60 Hz. The device features a power supply
which adapts itself to any mains voltage around the world, without needing any manual adjustment.
Even though the noise produced by powering up is minimal, it is always advisable to follow this power up
sequence: signal sources, mixing unit, processor, and lastly, power amplifiers. The power-down sequence
must follow a reverse order exactly. By closely following these sequences, all peaks or transients produced
by switching devices on and off do not affect the next devices in the chain and never reach the loudspeakers,
which are extremely sensitive to this.

3. Maintenance

Cleaning the Unit
Do not clean the DLX24 control panel with any solvent, abrasive, or petroleum-based substance; doing
so can damage the unit's finish and silk-screen printing. When cleaning is necessary, use a damp soft
cloth with plain liquid soap. Be careful not to get any liquid in any of the unit's openings. Never use sharp
or erosive objects on the unit's control panel.
