IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND SYMBOL EXPLANATIONS SoundConnect 2 has been supplied in safe operating condition. This User’s Manual contains information and warnings that should be followed by the user to ensure safe and service free operation. Special note should be made of the following: 1.
CAUTION! Do not substitute the supplied AC power adapter. Substituting the AC power adapter may damage the product and introduce safety hazards. Only use power adapters supplied by or approved by Listen, Inc. Polarized Mic Input Connectors CAUTION! The Polarized Mic In 1 and Polarized Mic In 2 connectors on the rear panel are intended to interface to microphones requiring a polarization voltage of 200V.
Wide frequency response SoundConnect 2 has a bandwidth greater than 100 kHz, and offers gain control from -20d B to +40 dB in 10 dB increments. User-selectable low pass (22.4 kHz and 120 kHz) and high pass (1 Hz, 10 Hz, 20 Hz, 100 Hz) 2nd order Butterworth filters with -1 dB corners, permit the frequency response to be tailored for a wide variety of applications.
Power Switch The LED indicator shows when unit is powered on. The current state of SoundConnect 2 is stored in memory when it is shut off via the front panel power switch. These values are recalled the next time it is turned on.

Figure 2-3: Overall Settings SoundCheck Acquisition Step Gain Field Important! Switching Listen Hardware from Maximum Gain to Minimum Gain in the Acquisition Step is not recommended. This does not allow the input gain circuit sufficient time to stabilize. If you need to switch from Max Gain to Minimum Gain we recommend that you use a Listen Hardware Message step with a 500 mSec wait time to allow for settling.
