The VT-2 is carefully packed for shipment and it should survive all but the most brutal han-
dling. If t
here is any damage, keep the shipping material for use during any possible claim for
damag
e with the shipper.

Mounting
The VT-2 is designed for installation in a standard 19 inch rack. It requires 5.25 inches of ver-
tical space, but additional spacing betw
een it and adjacent equipment is recommended for
adequate cooling. Ideally, a ventilated panel at least 1 rack unit high (1.25 inches) should be
inst
alled above and below the VT-2 (and around any other heat producing equipment for that
matter). Be sur
e t
he bottom vent slots are not blocked. It is essential that air can flow into
the bottom and out of the top of the VT-2. Equipment that runs cool can last for a very long
time.
In tight equipment enclosures, be sure there is adequate air flow. Forced air cooling will ben-
efit all y
our equipment.
The VT
-2 can also be used without a rack, placed on a table, counter, or even on the floor.
Optional r
ubber f
eet are available, when requested at the time of the order.
Moderate electrical and magnetic fields in t
he vicinity of the VT-2 should not cause any
degradation in noise performance, due to the well-shielded construction, but proximity to
devices with motors or large power transformers (i.e. tape machines or power amps) should
be avoided.
Alt
hough the vacuum tubes in the VT-2 are selected for minimum microphonic response, it
is a good practice to avoid mounting locations that subject the VT-2 to very high sound or
vibration levels.
P
ower
The VT
-2 is designed to operate from 100, 120, or 220-240 volt, 50/60 Hz power. The unit
will be shipped wir
ed for the voltage specified in the order, but may be changed in the field
