CAUTION!
The MM-8802 is desi ned to work in conjunction with MediaMatrix®brand products. The di ital interface between the MM-
8802 and the MediaMatrix product is a crucial link in the successful implementation of your system. Use only hi h quality
Cate ory 5 cables when usin the MM-8802 with the MM DSP-RJ DPU card or the X-Frame™88 di ital processor. If you are
usin the le acy MM DSP DPU card, you must use the Peavey 9-pin DB-9 le acy cable only. The MM-8802 will not perform
properly if other 9-pin cables are used with the le acy products. Installin the MM-8802 with inferior or improper cables
could also cause dama e to the components in your sound system. Peavey will not be held liable for dama e to components or
transducers caused by improper use of interface cablin when usin MediaMatrix products.
Like other electronic systems, the infrastructure is critical for implementin lar e systems that transverse lar e distances. It is
important that your conduit systems, wire plants and connector complement are properly desi ned and installed. The wirin
and cablin systems should be thorou hly inspected and each run certified to pass the specified bandwidth prior to the instal-
lation of any active electronic component. Failure to implement proper cablin systems may cause your system to perform at
inferior levels.
Several associated products are required to complete a workin system usin the MM-8802. This manual frequently makes
reference to these products, but does not provide specific confi uration or installation information on them. Please refer to the
manuals for these products for information. Every product, both Peavey products and third party devices, must be properly
installed for the MM-8802 to operate in accordance with its published specification.
This product is fan-cooled with an exhaust fan on one side of the unit. Air is drawn inward from the other side. Do not block
the fan or any vents when installin this product. Proper coolin is essential to maintain proper operation and lon -term sta-
bility in this product. Install this product in EIA approved equipment racks only.
The information contained in this manual is subject to chan e without notice. Peavey Electronics is not liable for improper
installation or confi uration. The information contained herein is intended only as an aid to qualified personnel in the desi n,
installation and maintenance of en ineered audio systems. The installin contractor or end user is ultimately responsible for
the successful implementation of these systems.

Installation The MM-8802 is desi ned to be installed in commercial rade, EIA electron-
ic equipment racks only. Installin this unit in non-EIA racks or in other
confi urations is not recommended. Failure to install this product in the
proper enclosure may void your warranty.
The MM-8802 is forced-air cooled, and care should be taken not to block the
air intake or exhaust path. When installed in EIA racks, the MM-8802 can
be installed in adjacent rack spaces without additional ventin . However, it
is recommended that common sense be applied to lar e installations where
multiple units are mounted in a sin le rack. It is enerally accepted that a
ratio of one vent for every two MM-8802s is a ood rule of thumb that usual-
ly provides adequate performance. In installations where adverse conditions
exist, and room temperatures are likely to rise, additional vents should be
installed.
The MM-8802 can be installed into any EIA rack with an internal depth
clearance of 24" or more. This will allow plenty of space for the unit and its
associated wirin harness. When dressin off wirin harnesses, take care
with CAT 5 cables. Do not tie-wrap bundles of CAT 5 wire too ti htly.
Leave plenty of room for bends, allowin the cable to pro ress naturally from
the RJ-45 connector. Creatin ti htly wrapped CAT 5 wire bundles can
cause loose crimp joints and defective terminations.
To successfully install your new MM-8802, and perform the testin exam-
ples contained in this manual, you will need the followin components:
In MediaMatrix, the minimum confi uration consists of a sin le DPU pro-
cessin en ine (X-Frame or frame/DSP card combination), and I/O.
Dependin on your system, this may consist of several products. When
usin the MM-8802, at least one unit is required to confi ure the minimum
system. Of course, most systems will include more DPU products and mul-
tiple MM-8802s, but this is the most basic confi uration.
The use of hi h quality, network rade CAT 5 cables is required to success-
fully implement the MM-8802 with new MediaMatrix products. Please
refer to the section on CAT 5 cablin later in this manual.
