Preamplifier

Q: I have a microphone plugged into channel one (or two) but I am not getting any signal.

Possible Solutions

1.Check your mic cable.

2.Make sure the microphone does not require phantom power. If it does, press the 48V button.

3.Make sure nothing is plugged into the line input on the rear of the FP10. The line inputs on channels 1 and 2 take precedence over the combo input on the front of the unit on channels 1 and 2. If a cable is plugged into the line input on channel, then the mic/instrument input on channel one will be inactive until the cable is removed from line input 1.

Power Issues

Q:I just bought a FP10 from (dealer name goes here) in (city and state go here) and I live in Morocco. When I plugged in my FP10 it caught on fire and smoke came out of the top. What do I do?

A:PreSonus has a distributor in almost every country. Therefore, PreSonus does not authorize or condone exportation of any of our products by US dealers. If you have done this and your product has been damaged (more than likely due to voltage irregularities) then you will need to return the unit to the dealer in the United States. The dealer can then return it to PreSonus for a non-warranty repair. After the unit is repaired, the dealer will be billed accordingly and the unit will be returned to the dealer.
