How to install Middle Atlantic Pre-Configured L2 Series Lectern
Installing the Middle Atlantic L2 Series Lectern is a straight-forward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize reliability. Follow these general steps to set up a fully functional AV lectern with pre-configured connectivity and a ready-to-use rack system:
1) Unpack and inspect — carefully remove the lectern from its packaging and verify that all components are present, including the removable rack module, mounting hardware, and any connectivity panels. Check for any signs of shipping damage and report them promptly if observed.
2) Position the lectern — place the lectern at the intended location, ensuring there is adequate clearance for front and rear access to the rack and connectivity panels. Consider sightlines, room traffic flow, and power availability when determining the final placement.
3) Install the rack module — if the removable rack is not already installed, carefully insert and secure it within the lectern’s chassis according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, ensuring that the rackrails engage correctly with the mounting holes and that the module sits flush with the front face.
4) Mount equipment — install your AV devices into the 12 front and 10 rear rackspaces using the standard 10-32 hardware. Route cables through the built-in cable management channels to keep lines neat and avoid interference with the presenter’s workspace. Tighten all screws to secure gear while avoiding over-tightening that could damage the rails or equipment.
5) Connect to the pre-configured system — attach the pre-configured connectivity cables and panels to your devices as specified by the installation guide. Verify that power cables, video and audio connectors, and control interfaces are properly seated and routed to minimize strain and potential disconnects during use.
6) Power, test, and calibrate — apply power and perform a functional test of the entire system. Confirm video, audio, and control signals are passing correctly, and that all rack-mounted devices are operating within expected temperature ranges. Make any required adjustments to cabling routes, venting, or device placement to optimize performance and accessibility.
7) Final alignment and documentation — check the alignment of the lectern with respect to seating, stage, or podium lines, and document the configuration so future technicians can reproduce or modify the setup efficiently. Maintain a clean, labeled cable arrangement to facilitate future upgrades or maintenance cycles.
With its rugged construction, modular rack system, and pre-configured connectivity, the L2 Series Lectern is designed to deliver dependable performance in high-demand scenarios. Its design accommodates a range of gear—from compact media players to larger control systems—while keeping cables neatly tucked away and the presenter’s workspace unobstructed. This combination of durability, flexibility, and ease of installation makes it a popular choice for professional AV integrators seeking a turnkey lectern solution that can adapt as room technologies evolve.
