Rack Installation
STAGEGRID 1000 is a standard 19" rack equipment with
one RU in height.
Use all four screws to safely secure the device in its rack
position.
Before powering up the equipment, power plugs must
be inserted in socket outlets provided with protective
earth contacts. The electrical supply at the socket
outlets must provide appropriate earthing and over-
current protection.
To ensure operation over the full rated temperature
range, make sure cool air can flow freely on both sides
of the unit.

Large PA
In a large system, the high channels count needs on stage can be supplied with SG4000, while SG1000 would
be used in both mixing sites, PA and Monitor, offering all channels operator may need near.
In this example, besides dividing the system between stage, house mix and monitor positions, two servers
are used together for redundancy, significantly increasing fault tolerance.
