Precautions and Safety Instructions

General Precautions

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. Solvents may cause damage to paint or plastic parts.

Avoid using the console close to strong sources of electromagnetic radiation (e.g video monitors, high power 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.

Caution!

In all cases, refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Handling and Transport

The console is supplied in a strong carton. 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.

Power Supplies & Cables

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.

Warning!

Always switch the power supply off before connecting or disconnecting the mixer power cable, removing or installing the Cross Fader, and servicing. In the event of an electrical storm, or large mains voltage fluctuations, immediately unplug from the mains.
