Power Section
APOWER ON/OFF switch
This switch is used to turn on the power to the DM2000. See “Turning On & Off the
DM2000” on page 51 for more information.
BGrounding screw
For electrical safety reasons, and correct operation of the touch-sensitive faders, it’s impor-
tant that the DM2000 is grounded properly. The supplied power cord has a three-pin plug,
and if the ground terminal of the AC outlet is grounded, then the unit will be grounded suf-
ficiently through the power cord. If the AC outlet does not provide a suitable ground, this
screw must be connected to a suitable ground point. Grounding is also an effective method
for eliminating hum, interference, and other noise.
CAC IN connector
This connector is used to connect the DM2000 to an AC outlet via the supplied power cord.
See “Connecting the Power Cord” on page 51 for more information.
DCooling fan
The cooling fan expels air out through this outlet. If the airflow is restricted, the DM2000
may overheat, so make sure this outlet is not blocked.
