GETTING STARTED

Begin by carefully removing your new Minimoog Model D from its packaging. Moog recommends that
you save all original packing material, should you ever need to safely move or ship the instrument.

In addition to the instrument itself, the Minimoog Model D also includes:
1. This owner's manual
2. Power adapter and connecting power cord
3.
Registration card
SETUP & CONNECTIONS
The front panel of the Minimoog Model D is hinged, so use caution and avoid grasping the top of the
panel when lifting or moving the instrument.
Place the Minimoog Model D on a stable surface such as a table or keyboard stand. Be sure the
instrument is placed at a comfortable playing height. The front panel can remain flat, or it can be
tilted to a convenient angle for viewing and accessing the controls.
To get started, you will need to supply the Minimoog Model D with power and connect it to an audio
monitoring system, or listen using a set of headphones.
AC POWER
The Minimoog Model D uses a universal power supply that can operate using AC power sources
ranging from 100 to 240 volts at either 50 or 60 cycles (Hz). The included power supply features
a detachable IEC-style power cable.
1. Connect the included IEC power cable to the Minimoog Model D power supply.
2. Connect the power supply cable to the Minimoog Model D locking XLR-4 connector.
3.
Connect the other end of the power cable to a suitable AC wall outlet.
4. Finally, use the POWER switch to turn on your new Minimoog Model D.
NOTE: The power supply connects to the Minimoog Model D using a locking connector. To release this
connector from the instrument, simply press the locking tab at the base of the connector and gently pull
up on the connector plug. Do not pull on the cable itself.
RAISING THE PANEL
1. Grab the front panel by the top wood edge and tilt it
forward towards the keyboard.
2. Flip up the hinged metal kickstand located in the area
under the rear panel.
3. Position the top edge of this kickstand against one of the four
screw heads protruding slightly from the rear of the panel.
(Each screw head will support the panel at a different angle.)
4. To lower the panel, again tilt the panel forward until
the hinged kickstand returns to its original position,
then gently lower the panel.
