ATTENTION!
The following special limitations apply to the console and must be observed in order to maintain safety and
electromagnetic compatibility performance:
POWER CONNECTION
The console should only be operated with the power supply connected to ground via its mains supply connector.
CONTROL CONNECTIONS
The console should only be operated with high quality screened control cables. All connector shells should be
of metal construction so that they provide a screen when they are plugged into the console. All DEE connector
shells should be connected to the cable screen. All XLR and DIN connectors should have pin 1 connected to
the cable screen.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
The console should only be operated with high quality screened twisted pair audio cables. All connector shells
should be of metal construction so that they provide a screen when they are plugged into the console. All JACK
connector shells should be connected to the cable screen. All XLR connectors should have pin 1 connected to
the cable screen.
ELECTRIC FIELDS
If the console is operated in an electromagnetic field that is amplitude modulated by an audio frequency signal,
the signal to noise ratio may be degraded. Degradation of up to 60dB may be experienced under extreme
conditions (3V/m, 90% modulation).
INSTALLATION
There are a number of points to consider when installing a mixing console. Many of these points will have
been addressed before the console is even unpacked but it is worth repeating them.
POSITION
The console should be located in a convenient space commensurate with the use to which the console is being
put. Ideally a cool area is preferred not in close proximity to power distribution equipment or other potential
sources of interference. Provision should be made for some flat surface surrounding the console to prevent
people using it as a table top.
POWER
The power supply should be located as far from the console as the connecting cable will allow. It should be
set for the appropriate line voltage and plugged into the mains outlet using the supplied cable.
THE POWER SUPPLY SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED
Please note that the power supply contains LETHAL VOLTAGES greatly in excess of the mains voltage and
that its rails can produce extremely large currents which could burn out equipment and wiring if shorted. All
testing and servicing should ONLY be carried out by qualified engineers.
