PRECAUTIONS
Phantom power
Never apply phantom power to any unbalanced input source. Before powering the unit, always check the +48V status of any phantom powered equipment connected to any of the 16 output XLRs on the rear panel. If +48V is detected on any of these outputs the unit will apply +48V to any devices connected to their corresponding inputs (front or rear panel) as soon as the unit is powered up.
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
Never remove, for example, covers, housings or any other safety guards.
Never operate the equipment with the covers removed or if safety guards are ineffective or their effectiveness has been reduced.
