  • Page 10: Rack Mounting

    The Matrix-1000 uses one standard rack space (1 -3/4 inches). We recommend leaving an air space of approximately 1/2-inch between the Matrix-1000 and other units in the rack, to prevent overheating. This is especially important if the Matrix-1000 will be left powered on for long periods of time.
