Avoid storing or using the mixing console in conditions of excessive heat or cold,
or in positions where it is likely to be subject to vibration, dust or moisture. Do not
use any liquids to clean the fascia of the unit: a soft dry brush is ideal. Use only
water or ethyl alcohol to clean the trim and scribble strips. Other solvents may cause
damage to paint or plastic parts.
Avoid using the console close to strong sources of electromagnetic radiation (e.g.
video monitors, highpower electric cabling): this may cause degradation of the audio
quality due to induced voltages in connecting leads and chassis. For the same
reason, always site the power supply away from the unit.
In all cases, refer servicing to qualified personnel.
The console is supplied in a wooden crate. If it is necessary to move it any distance
after installation it is recommended that this packing is used to protect it. Be sure
to disconnect all cabling before moving. If the console is to be regularly moved we
recommend that it is installed in a foamlined flightcase. At all times avoid applying
excessive force to any knobs, switches or connectors.
The power supply unit incorporates automatic mains input voltage sensing and
therefore no adjustment is needed to match local mains supplies.
Always use the power supply and cable supplied with the mixer: the use of
alternative supplies may cause damage and voids the warranty; the extension of
power cables may result in malfunction of the mixing console.
Always switch the power supply off before connecting or
disconnecting the mixer power cable, removing of installing
modules, and servicing. In the event of an electrical storm, or large
mains voltage fluctuations, immediately switch off the PSU and
unplug from the mains.
Always ensure that you use the correct PSU for your mixer. The SM12 uses the
PSM300 power supply.
