DBX CX 2 Owners Manual

Inspection and Installation

Your unit was carefully packed at the factory in a
carton designed to protect it. Nevertheless, we
recommend examining both carton and contents for
any signs of damage that may have occurred during
shipping. If there is evidence of damage, don't
destroy the carton or any of the packing material,
and notify your dbx dealer immediately.

In any case it is a good idea to save the canon and
packing materials should you ever need to ship your
unit in the future.

The carton should contain a model CX-2. this in-
struction manual, and a warranty/registration card.

No special ventilation is required in any installation;
other components may be stacked above or below
the CX-2 provided that they themselves do not get

hot.
