Depth
Depth is the front-to-back dimension of a component.
Also called: Body length
The stated measurement may include or exclude projecting connectors, knobs or covers. It describes the product’s size, not necessarily the full installation space.
Depth — Power Regenerator
For a power regenerator, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Music Server
For a music server, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Subwoofer
For a subwoofer, depth describes the cabinet footprint from front to back.
Check whether grilles or projecting fittings are included. Cabinet depth is separate from the acoustic spacing required from a wall and from clearance for rear connections.
Depth — Crossover
For an active crossover, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Power Filter
For a power filter, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Loudspeaker
For a loudspeaker, depth describes the cabinet footprint from front to back.
Check whether grilles or projecting fittings are included. Cabinet depth is separate from the acoustic spacing required from a wall and from clearance for rear connections.
Depth — Upscaler
For a digital upscaler, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — MC Head Amp
For a phono head amp, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Cartridge
For a cartridge, depth is the front-to-back length of the cartridge body.
Compare body-only figures without the stylus guard, headshell or mounting plate. If the published measurement includes one of these, retain that condition rather than treating it as bare-body length.
Depth — Digital Audio Player
For a portable player, depth describes the front-to-back thickness in the stated dimension order.
Check the published orientation rather than guessing from the order of three numbers. A protective case and inserted cable plugs can increase the carried size.
Depth — Turntable
For a turntable, depth helps determine whether the plinth fits the supporting platform.
Check any cover or tonearm projection separately, including space needed to open the lid. The platter diameter alone does not describe the turntable’s footprint.
Depth — USB Reclocker
For a USB reclocker, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — CD Transport
For a CD transport, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare case depth with shelf space, then allow for rear cables and the disc-loading arrangement. A tray’s open position may need additional space beyond the stated closed-unit dimensions.
Depth — Phono Preamp
For a phono preamplifier, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Tuner
For a tuner, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — DAC
For a DAC, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — External Clock
For an external clock, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Preamp
For a preamplifier, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Power Supply
For an external power supply, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — SACD Transport
For a SACD transport, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare case depth with shelf space, then allow for rear cables and the disc-loading arrangement. A tray’s open position may need additional space beyond the stated closed-unit dimensions.
Depth — Power Amp
For a power amplifier, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Super Tweeter
For a super tweeter, depth helps check the footprint on a speaker cabinet or separate support.
Allow for the connection and any projecting mounting parts. The cabinet measurement does not establish the required acoustic alignment with the main speaker.
Depth — Optical Equalizer
For an optical-cartridge equalizer, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Step-Up Transformer (SUT)
For a step-up transformer, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Streamer
For a streamer, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Equalizer
For an equalizer, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
Depth — Headphone Amp
For a headphone amplifier, depth helps establish the front-to-back space needed on a shelf or other supporting surface.
Compare the stated boundary of the measurement and allow room for connected cables and their bends. A chassis-only depth should not be treated as the complete installed depth.
