GE X-9 Introduction, Some notes and precautions, Serial number, etc, Environmental considerations

1 – Introduction

The X-9 is a sophisticated DJ mixer which allows the connection of many devices, and allows you to mix in a creative way, adding effects, taking samples, etc. and crossfading between sources.

Following the standard design pattern for such a device, the X-9 combines easy operation with a wide range of functions.

Smooth faders, easy-to-use controls and clear indica- tors displays allow you to concentrate on the music, not the operation of the unit.

Some notes and precautions

Treat the X-9 as you would any other piece of preci- sion equipment.

Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.

Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).

Environmental considerations

The X-9 may be used in most areas, but to maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following environmental conditions:

The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).

Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees non- condensing.

As the unit may become hot during operation, always leave sufficient space above and around the unit for ventilation. If you are mounting the unit in a rack, leave 1U of space above it.

Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a bookcase or similar unit.

You should not place the unit on a piece of equip- ment generating heat, e.g. an amplifier, to avoid pos- sible problems with overheating.

The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

NOTE

When transporting the unit, always use the original packing materials or a properly-designed equipment case. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you save all the packing materials that came with the X-9, in case you need to transport it in the future.

Connections to other equipment

It is extremely important that the power is turned off on all units when making or breaking connections to or from the X-9.

When turning power on, it is usually a good idea to start with the source (turntables, CD players, etc.), then the X-9 and finish with the amplifier system.

Turning power off should be done in the other direc- tion (amplifiers first, then other equipment).

Serial number, etc.

The serial number of the X-9 is located on a sticker at the front of the unit on the bottom panel. Make a note

of this for future reference (warranty, etc.).
