Connections

Refer to the Connection Diagram below.
1. Make certain AC power is off while making
connections.
2. Quality cables make a big difference in fidelity
and punch. Use high-quality, audio cables.
3. Do not use excessively long cables.
Be sure plugs and terminals are securely
fastened. Loose connections cause hum,
noise, or intermittence that could damage your
speakers.
4. Connect all stereo input sources. Then connect
any effects into the stereo Effect, if used.
Connect your Microphone(s) and monitor
headphones. Make sure all faders are at "zero"
and the unit is off. Take care to connect only
one cable at a time. pay attention to L and R
position of terminals, on both the DN-X1700 and
outboard gear.
5. Connect the stereo outputs to the power
amplifier(s) and/or tape deck(s) and/or Solid
State recorder(s) and/or CD recorder(s).
NOTE
• Always switch on your audio input sources such
as CD players first, then your mixer, and finally
any amplifiers.
• When turning off, always reverse this operation
by turning off amplifiers, then your mixer, and
then input units.
