Getting started

Getting started

Observing the guidelines in the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “PRECAUTIONS” sections towards the front of the manual, carry out the following to get your Square ONE Splitter unit fully operational.

Unpacking

Carefully unpack your Square ONE Splitter equipment package.

Inspect the Square ONE Splitter unit carefully for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit and notify the courier immediately if any is discovered.

Check the contents of your Square ONE Splitter equipment package. If there are any parts missing, incorrect or faulty, please contact your local distributor or Klark Teknik at the address at the front of this manual.

Please retain the original packing in case you should need to return the equipment to the manufacturer or supplier, or transport or ship the unit later.

Checking the mains fuse

Before installing the equipment, make sure that the mains fuse fitted is of the correct type and rating for your unit. To do this refer to “Service information” on page 28.

Installation

This unit is designed for mounting in any 19” EIA standard rack and occupies 2U of rack space. Four rack-mount holes in the front panel are provided for rack mounting and are designed to fully support the weight of the unit in the rack.

Note: Avoid over-tightening the rack-mount screws, as this could damage the front panel.

The position of the unit will depend upon how it is to be used. However, when positioning the unit, avoid placing it where the control knobs may be damaged by being accidentally knocked or snapped off. Avoid mounting the unit directly above or below power amplifiers or power supplies that radiate excessive magnetic fields or heat. Ensure that the ventilation apertures on either side of the unit are not blocked or obstructed.

This unit must be earthed. If ground loop problems are encountered, the global ground lift switches (rear panel) for each electronically balanced output may be used. It is also permissible to disconnect the cable screen at one end or other of the output cables, though the signal input cable screen must be connected at both ends to ensure the phantom powering operates correctly.

For unbalanced use, pin 3 of any output XLR may be grounded at the destination end of the cable.

The source impedance of the electronically balanced outputs is 50 ohms while the transformer balanced outputs have a source impedance of 75 ohms. Both are designed to feed a minimum load of 600 ohms.
