Please read this section before connecting this unit to your system:
For optimum performance:
•
All the slide faders are subject to wear. Excessive force can wear out the fader quickly. User
replaceable slide faders are not a warranted item.
•
Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls. Residues cause excessive dirt build-up and this will
void your warranty. In normal use slide controls can last for many years. If they malfunction (usually
because of a dirty or dusty environment) consult a professional technician.
•
Always make sure that AC power is OFF while making any connections.
•
Use appropriate cables throughout your system. Do not use excessively long cables (i.e. over 32 feet /
10 meters). Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly mated. Loose connections can cause hum, noise
or intermittents that could easily damage your speakers. Make the input and output connections with
readily available low-capacitance stereo cables. Quality cable makes a big difference in audio fidelity
and punch. See your Alesis dealer or an electronics or audio specialist store if you are not sure which
cables to use.
•
Never attempt to make any adjustments other than those described in this manual, or repairs. Take the
unit to your dealer or to an authorized Alesis Service Center.
•
Always remember: "TURN AMPS ON LAST AND OFF FIRST."
volume controls on minimum and the amplifier gain/input control(s) down. Wait 8 to 10 seconds before
turning up the volume. This prevents transients which may cause severe speaker damage.
•
Use restraint when operating controls. Try to move them slowly.
damage equipment due to amplifier clipping.
•
Avoid amplifier "clipping" at all costs: this occurs when the red LEDs (usually on the front panel of most
professional power amplifiers) start flashing. "Clipping" is when the power amplifier is distorting
and working beyond its limits. Amplifier distortion is THE major cause of speaker failure.
•
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Never place cans of beer,
soda, glasses of water or anything wet near or on top of the unit!
•
Headphone outputs can be set to levels which can cause damage to your ears. Use caution.
•
This unit may contain a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare
situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it
to lockup. In the unlikely event that this should happen, turn off the unit, wait at least five seconds, and
then turn it back on again.
•
Under rare circumstances, if this product is exposed to electromagnetic interference during use, there
may be a slight drop in signal-to-noise ratio.
•
Intended electromagnetic environments: residential, commercial, light industrial, urban outdoors.
