3. FIRST STEPS WITH THE ANALOG HEAT MKII

Make sure you place the Analog Heat MKII on a stable support, such as a sturdy table with sufficient cable

space. Before you start connecting the Analog Heat MKII to other units, make sure all units are switched off.

1. Plug the supplied DC adapter to a power outlet and connect the small plug to the 12 V DC connector

of the Analog Heat MKII unit.

2. Connect the audio source to INPUT L/R.

3. Connect the OUTPUT L/R from the Analog Heat MKII to your mixer or amplifier.

4. To process sound or control the Analog Heat MKII from a computer, connect a USB cable between

the computer and the USB connector of the Analog Heat MKII. You must also download and install the

Overbridge Suite to perform these actions.

5. If you want to use MIDI to control the Analog Heat MKII, connect the MIDI OUT port of the device you

wish to send data from to the MIDI IN port of the Analog Heat MKII. The MIDI THRU port duplicates

the data arriving at the MIDI IN port, so you can use it for chaining MIDI units together.

6. Switch on all units. Press the power switch located at the back of the Analog Heat MKII to switch it on.
