Precautions
Installation
Before installing the equipment:
•Power plugs must be inserted in socket outlets provided with protective earth contacts. The electrical supply at the socket outlets must provide appropriate
•Both the mains supply and the quality of earthing must be adequate for the equipment.
•Before connecting up the equipment, check that the mains power supply voltage rating corresponds with the local mains power supply. The rating of the mains power supply voltage is printed on the equipment.
Location
•Ideally a cool area is preferred, away from power distribution equipment or other potential sources of interference.
•Do not install the equipment in places of poor ventilation.
•Do not install this equipment in a location subjected to excessive heat, dust or mechanical vibration. Allow for adequate ventilation around the equipment, making sure that its vents are not obstructed. To prevent excessive heating of the equipment, avoid mounting it directly above power amplifiers or other devices that radiate significant amounts of heat, such as radiators and heaters. Keep the equipment out of direct sunlight.
•Make sure that the mains voltage and fuse rating information of the equipment will be visible after installation.
Audio connections
To ensure the correct and reliable operation of the equipment, only high quality balanced, screened, twisted pair audio cable should be used.
XLR connector shells should be of metal construction so that they provide a screen when connected to the console and, where appropriate, they should have Pin 1 connected to the cable screen.
In the event of ground loop problems, disconnect the signal screen at one end of the connecting cables. Note that this can only be done when the equipment is used within a balanced system.
Radio frequency interference
Class B device
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.
Electric fields
Caution:
In accordance with Part 15 of the FCC Rules & Regulations, “… changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.”
Should this product be used in an electromagnetic field that is amplitude modulated by an audio frequency signal (20Hz to 20kHz), the signal to noise ratio may be degraded. Degradation of up to 60dB at a frequency corresponding to the modulation signal may be experienced under extreme conditions (3V/m, 90% modulation).
Operation
To avoid electrical shock, never operate the equipment with the covers removed.
