compatibility performance.
Power Connection
The console should only be operated with the power
supply connected to ground via the ground in the mains
connector.
Audio Connections
The console should only be operated with high quality
twisted-pair audio cables. All connector shells should be
of metal construction so that they provide a screen when
connected to the console. All jack connector shells should
be connected to the cable screen. All XLR plugs should
have pin one (1) connected to the cable screen.
INSTALLATION
Position
The position of the console will vary from venue to venue. However, when positioning the console for front of house usage it
is worth placing the console in a position where the sound system used can be heard properly from the mix position. Try to
avoid placing the console behind pillars or large objects , or mixing from a level above the speaker position (e.g. from a
balcony).
Also try to avoid placing the console near or on any power distribution units or power amplifiers.
Power
If using an external power supply, it should be located as far away from the console as the connecting cable will allow. The
power supply should be set for the voltage supply available in your area and plugged into the mains outlet using the cable
provided.
