INSTALLATION

Your DS24/DS26 was carefully packed at the factory and the packaging was designed to protect the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage that may have occurred in transit. If the unit is damaged please do not return it to us but notify your dealer and the shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replace- ment may not be granted. Shipping claims must be made by the con- signee.

6.1RACK MOUNTING

The DS24/DS26 fits into one standard 19” rack unit of space. Please allow at least an additional 4” depth for the connectors on the back panel. Though this device does not generate significant heat, be sure that there is enough air space around the unit for cool- ing. To avoid overheating, do not place the DS24/DS26 in rack above devices that gener- ate significant heat such as power amplifiers.

6.2CONNECTORS

The DS24/DS26 must be installed using standard 3 –pin type XLR jacks. Although the inputs are fully balanced, the automatic servo-functions allow them to operate with unbalanced source/loads. Audio outputs also use XLR jacks.

PIN 1 = Ground

PIN 2 = HOT (+)

PIN 3 = COLD (-)
