Put the Rack Mount Unit icon on the drawing and the production device stops being an assumption. It reserves table space, power, and network for gear that runs the show, so the crew can plan power, space, and access around it.
Drag it onto the canvas, resize it, rename the label, and it lands in the exported PDF exactly where you left it.
Where it sits on the deck changes how the rest of the plot reads. Control hardware sits offstage or at the side of the stage, where an operator can reach it without crossing the performance area mid show. Snap the icon to the grid and the distances stay believable on a printed page.
Say this part explicitly. List power and network requirements in the plot notes. This gear fails quietly and takes the show with it.
Rack Mount Unit is not an audio source, so it adds no rows to the input list. It is there to make the drawing accurate: it reserves table space, power, and network for gear that runs the show, and the channel count stays clean because nothing silent is padding it out.
The input list behind the plot exports as a Behringer X32 or Midas M32 scene file, a Behringer Wing scene, or CSV channel names for Allen and Heath dLive, Avantis, and SQ, DiGiCo, and Yamaha CL and QL desks. See the console guides.
