Page 4: Mains Connections
MAINS CONNECTIONS Your unit has been factory set to the correct mains voltage for your country. The voltage setting is marked on the serial badge, located on the rear panel. Check that this complies with your local supply. The voltage changeover switch is located inside the unit in the middle of the PCB near the power transformer. -
Page 5: Operational Notes
OPERATIONAL NOTES SWITCHING ON The power switch and fuse are located on the remote power supply. Do not hot plug the station while the power is on. It is possible to get temporary contact of non-compatible pins while aligning the power connectors. - Page 6 Another typical CUE problem is leakage from the headphones into the mic. It can happen with quiet instruments and loud headphones. Leakage often is a problem with vocals and more so with harmony vocals. The usual fix is in the mix. We use gates and automation and phase reverse tricks and plenty of time to try to eliminate the leakage.
- Page 7 On the topic of hints - here's a few things to try sometime. Some singers and drummers have a real problem with headphones. If these artists are veteran stage performers they are probably more comfortable with stage monitors. You can set up speakers instead of headphones if you are careful and do it right.
- Page 8 OTHER HEADPHONE STATION TRICKS Another drum trick where these stations are useful is in the mix. We set up a snare drum in a live room without the rest of the kit. We place a pair of drum sticks about 4 inches apart across the rim. Then we put an Auratone facing down on the sticks.

WIRING NOTES Help!... It hums when we plug in the inputs. Every studio should have several of those AC adapters that convert a 3 pin AC plug into a 2 pin plug. Try 'em. Resist the temptation to break off the ground pin on the AC cable. - Page 12 4) Most users do not get involved with the routing of control room mic to headphone stations in any tricky or involved way. Most simply use the built in CUE system of the recording console to feed a basic mix into the station's (stereo) input 6. This is sometimes the monitor mix and sometimes a basic headphone mix to which the musicians add a whole bunch more of themselves.
