PRO SM-1

IMPORTANT INFORMATION...

Please read this entire manual before connecting the PRO SM-1 to your system.

For optimum performance:

• Always make sure that AC power is OFF while

making any connections.

• Do not use excessively long cables (i.e. over

50ft/14m). Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly mated.

Loose connections can cause hum, noise or

intermittents that could easily damage your speakers.

• Never use spray cleaners or oils on

the slide controls. Residues will

cause excessive dirt build-up and this

will void your warranty. In normal

use slide controls can last for many

years. If they malfunction (usually

because of a dirty or dusty

environment), consult a professional

technician.

• Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs

other than those described in this manual. Take the

PRO SM-1 to your dealer or to an authorized

Service Center.

A NOTE ON CABLES:

Quality cable makes a big difference in audio

fidelity and punch. See your

dealer or an electronics or audio specialist

store if you are unsure which cables to use.

SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

• Use appropriate cables throughout your system:

Quality shielded audio cables and terminated shielded

video cables, low-capacitance preferred. Speaker

cables must be at least 14-gauge; 12 or 10-gauge is

preferable.

• Reliability will be enhanced through the use of

banana connectors on the speaker wires. Observe

correct speaker wire polarity. If in doubt, consult your

dealer or a qualified technician.

• Connect only one cable at a time, paying close

attention to the color-coded, labelled Input and Output

jacks.

• ALWAYS REMEMBER

“TURN AMPS ON LAST AND OFF FIRST”.

Begin with master faders or volume controls on

minimum and the amplifier gain/input control(s) down.

Wait 8 to 10 seconds before turning up the volume.

This prevents transients which may cause severe

speaker damage.

• Use restraint when operating controls by moving

them slowly. Rapid adjustments may damage

speakers due to amplifier clipping.

• Avoid amplifier “clipping” at all costs: this

occurs when the red LEDs (usually on the front panel

of most professional power amplifiers) start flashing.

“Clipping” is when the power amplifier is distorting

and working beyond it’s limits. Amplifier distortion is

the major cause of speaker failure.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the

unit to rain or moisture. Never place any beverage

or anything wet on top of the mixer!
