Information Needed

[louis a. ives]

I will be constructing a rack for my, K-3, KPA-500, KAT-500, P-3.  My concern is how much air space is needed for the equipment.  I need to rack the equipment to increase space on my bench. The KPA-500 will be on bottom, mainly because of the weight.  The speaker in the K-3 is not a problem because I use ext. speaker and headphones.   I was told that I could just stack equipment on the amp. but I think that would be too great a weight on top.  I checked the past posts but could find nothing to address this.  All help would be of great help.

Inthe past Eric has written that you can stack the KPA500 and the KAT500
either way. Air flow is adequate and the KAT500 can handle the KPA500
weight.

Louis,

In my shack I have the KPA-KAT500 combo stacked permanently: KPA500 on
top of the KAT500. It's like since I have them (2013).
During portable use (fieldday etc) the K3 is on top of that. Compact and
easy.

See this short youtube video of the PI4D fieldday how that looks:
