Skyinbow Duo-Power IIB Balanced Active Transducer System Owner's Manual
Thank you for purchasing your Skyinbow Duo-Power IIB Balanced Active Transducer
System.
In order to get the best results from your new system, please read this Owner's Manual
carefully as it outlines the operation of your Duo-Power IIB Active Transducer System.
This Quick Start Guide assumes that you have already fitted your Duo-Power IIB Balanced
Active Transducer System to your instrument. If you have not done so, please see the
Fitting Guide for your particular instrument.
The Duo-Power IIB's preamplifier automatically switches on when a jackplug is inserted,
detects where its power is coming from and configures itself to optimise operation with
that power. Please note that only one source of power can be used at any one time.
SECTION 1
The Onboard Rechargeable System Power Source
In the Duo-Power IIB the original Skyinbow onboard rechargeable supercapacitor power
source has been completely redesigned and upgraded using the latest power
management techniques, technology and circuit design from within the computer
industry. This redesign now allows Skyinbow to offer more sustainable and
environmentally friendly methods of recharging the System Power Source by using either
a 9V/1Amp Centre Positive power supply, or a Centre Positive USB to 9V/1Amp Voltage
Converter Cable (requires a 5Volt/2Amp USB mobile phone/tablet charger or power
bank). Suitable power supplies, USB to DC converters, phone/tablet chargers and power
banks are easily available from both online and "bricks and mortar" retailers.
Included as part of your new Skyinbow Duo-Power IIB Active Transducer System is a V2
System Recharge Cable (SRC).
The V2 SRC is made up of two parts:
- a 9V (PP3) battery clip connected to a 5.5mm/2.1mm Barrel DC jack plug and
- a 5.5mm/2.1mm Barrel DC jack socket connected to a ¼" TRS (Tip- Sleeve) jack plug.
Charging/Recharging The Onboard System Power Source
Method 1 (9V Battery)
1. Connect both parts of the V2 SRC together
2. Plug a new 9V battery into the SRC battery Clip.
