UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Check the contents of the shipping carton. Be careful when unpacking your new Moog Messenger so that
nothing is lost or damaged. We recommend saving the carton and all packing materials in case you ever need
to ship the instrument for any reason.
Messenger ships with the following items:
1. Moog Messenger Monophonic Analog Synthesizer
2. Power Supply
3. Quick Start Guide
SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
Find somewhere stable and secure to place your new Moog Messenger. It weighs 4.95 kilograms (about
10.9 lbs) so place it on a table or stand with enough support.
Before exploring the Moog Messenger we need to provide it with power and hook it up to an audio moni-
toring system.
POWER
You will first need to connect your Moog Messenger to a properly wired AC voltage source. Plug the includ-
ed 12V DC center-positive power supply into the 12V DC power inlet on the rear of Messenger. Messenger
uses a switching power supply that can accommodate AC power sources ranging from 100 to 240 volts and
either 50 or 60 cycles (Hz).
NOTE: Messenger is an analog instrument and should be allowed 10-15 minutes to warm up before use. In cases where it
has been left in a cold car overnight, for example, it may take as long as 25 minutes before oscillator tuning has stabilized.
Do not operate Messenger in direct sunlight.
AUDIO
With the VOLUME control turned all the way down, plug one end of a 1/4" (TS) instrument cable into Mes-
senger's AUDIO OUT jack on the rear panel. Plug the other end into an amplified speaker, mixing console, or
audio interface.
Headphones can be used via the HEADPHONES output on the rear.
