NOTE: If you are inputting/outputting analog signals, you must
set the [INPUT –10 dBu/+4 dBu] switch (
\
) and the [OUTPUT
–10dBu/+4dBu] switch (
Z
) appropriately for the signal level of
the connected devices.
You must turn off the power of all devices before you
make connections.

Turn the power on

NOTE:To prevent high-volume noise from being out-
put from your speakers, turn on the power starting
with the device that is closest to the audio source.
Example: sound modules → mixer → SPX2000 →
power amp
Reverse this order when turning the power off.
