IEC - AC Power cord receptacle
7
Plug the AC power cord (supplied) into the 266XL. Plug the other end into a standard wall receptacle. Take care to route power cables away from audio lines. Note that the 266XL does not have a power switch. It is recommended that the 266XL be ÒOnÓ at all times. Power consumption is low. If you do not plan to use the 266XL for an extended period of time, unplug it.
WARNING: Be sure to verify your actual line voltage is the same as the voltage level printed below the AC power receptacle. Connection to an inappropriate power source may result in extensive damage which is not covered by the warranty.
Caution: Never remove the cover. There are no
CONNECTING THE 266XL TO YOUR SYSTEM
The 266XL can be used with any
Turn Off all equipment before making any connections.
Mount the 266XL in a 1U rack space (optional).
The 266XL requires one rack space (height) and 1 rack space (width). It can be mounted above or below anything that doesn't generate excessive heat, since it requires no special ventilation. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 113¼F (45¼C) when equipment is powered.
Make connections via 1/4Ó phone or XLR jacks according to your requirements. Typical patch points include: a mixer's channel or subgroup inserts when using the 266XL on individual instruments or tracks; the mixer's main outputs when mixing; an instrument preamp's effects loop when using the 266XL for guitar or bass; main outs of a submixer (i.e., keyboard mixer) as the signal is sent to main mixer; between a DAT's output and an analog cassette input. When using a chain of processors, the 266XL may be placed either before or after effects or dynamics processors. We rec- ommend you use common sense and experiment with different setups to see which one provides the best results for your needs.
Connect the AC power cord (shipped with the unit) to the 266XL's rear panel
