Unpacking and Inspection

Your X2 was packed carefully at the factory, and the container was designed to
protect the unit during shipping. Please retain this container in the highly unlikely
event that you need to return the X2 for servicing.
Upon receiving the X2, carefully examine the shipping carton and its contents for
any sign of physical damage that may have occurred in transit. If you detect any
damage, do not destroy any of the packing material or the carton, and immediately
notify the carrier of a possible claim for damage. Damage claims must be made by
you. Contact your Alesis dealer.
The shipping carton should contain the following items:
• This instruction manual
• Alesis X2 with the same serial number as shown on shipping carton
• X2 Power Supply unit
• AC Power Cable
• Alesis warranty card
J It is important to register your purchase; if you have not already filled out your warranty
card and mailed it back to Alesis, please take the time to do so now.

Power Supply

The X2 external power supply works with any standard line voltage (100 to 240V, 50
to 60 Hz), and comes with a line cord suitable for the destination to which the
mixing console is shipped.
The power supply should be placed within easy reach of the console, but not
directly underneath it. However, do not mount it directly over unshielded audio
equipment, to avoid electromagnetically inducing hum in such units.
The power supply comes with two cables. The first is a multi-pin adapter cable
which connects between the power supply unit and the back panel of the X2. Do not
use any multipin cable between the power supply unit and the X2 except that
provided with the unit. Mount the power supply in an area with proper ventilation.
The second cable is a IEC-spec AC power cable (do not substitute any other AC
cord), which is designed to be connected to an outlet that includes three pins, with
the third, round pin connected to ground. The ground connection is an important
safety feature designed to keep the chassis of electronic devices such as the X2 at
ground potential. Unfortunately, the presence of a third pin does not always
