Important Safety Instructions.

Please read and keep these instruc-
tions. Heed and follow all warnings and
instructions. Install in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
Power Source.
This product is
intended to operate from a power source
that does not apply more than 250V
RMS between the power supply conduc-
tors or between either power supply con-
ductor and ground. A protective ground
connection, by way of the grounding
conductor in the power cord, is essential
for safe operation.
Grounding.
The chassis of this
product is grounded through the ground-
ing conductor of the power cord. To
avoid electric shock, plug the power cord
into a properly wired receptacle before
making any connections to the product.
A protective ground connection, by way
of the grounding conductor in the power
cord, is essential for safe operation. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding plug. The grounding plug
has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The third prong is provided for
your safety. When the provided plug
does not fit your outlet, consult an elec-
trician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.

apparatus.

Phantom Power.

To prevent
hazard or damage, ensure that only
microphone cables and microphones
designed to IEC-268-15A are connected.
Proper Fuse.
The user accessible
fuse is a part of the IEC AC inlet connec-
tor. The fuseholder accepts 5 x 20 mm
diameter fuses. For 117 VAC opera-
tion, the correct value is 0.25 A, 250
VAC, standard. For 230 VAC operation,
the correct value is 0.125A, 250 VAC,
standard.

the following conditions: explosive
atmospheres, in wet locations, in inclem-
ent weather, improper or unknown AC
mains voltage, or if improperly fused. Do
not install near any heat source such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
