Donner PATH SEEKER User manual

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this manual in a convenient place for future
reference.
Power Supply
Always use a DC 9V center negative AC adapter. Use of an
adapter other than that specified could damage the unit or cause
malfunction and pose a safety hazard.
Always connect the AC adapter to an AC outlet that supplies the
rated voltage required by the adapter.
Disconnect the AC adapter from the AC outlet when during
lightning storms or not using the unit for an extended period.
Connections
Always turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting.
Make sure to disconnect all cables and AC adapter before
moving the unit. This will help prevent malfunction and damages.
Environment Considerations
Avoid using the unit in any of the following conditions that could
cause malfunction:
● Extremely hot or cold places
● Under direct sunlight
● Magnetic fields
● Near heaters and other heat sources
● Sandy or dusty places
● Places that are extremely humid or exposed to splashing water
● Places with lots of vibrations
Electrical Interference
Devices that are very susceptible to interference or that emits
powerful electromagnetic waves (e.g. radios and TVs) should not
be placed near this unit, as interference could occur.
Electromagnetic interference could cause malfunction and could
corrupt or destroy data.
Always operate this unit at a suitable distance from these
devices.
Handling
Do not apply excessive force to the switches and other controls,
exposing the unit to strong impacts, which could cause it to
break.
Do not put foreign objects or liquids into the unit.
Never open the case or attempt to modify the product in any way
since this can result in damage to the unit.
Clean only with a soft, dry cloth.
Path Seeker is a dual-mode, fully-functional ABY switcher for amps/pedalboards signal routing. You can route your signal to either A/B
outputs, or feed it to A and B together. Each output channel has independent volume control for signal mixing, and a 0°-180° polarity
toggle is for signal phase correction.

IN Jack: 1/4” mono audio jack, for connecting instruments or other pedals.
9V DC Jack: For power supply, use a 9-volt DC regulated by AC adapter, 500mA (plug polarity is positive on the barrel and
negative in the center).
OUT A/B Jacks: 1/4” mono audio jacks, for connecting amps or other devices.
VOL A Knob: Controls the output volume of channel A (OUT A).
VOL B Knob: Controls the output volume of channel B (OUT B).
Footswitches: Use the footswitches to select an output channel or engage both output channels.
This unit features two modes: A or B mode and A and B mode.
In A or B mode, either LED will lit up to indicate current working channel; in A and B mode, all LEDs will lit up to indicate that all
output channels are working.
A OR B Footswitch: In A or B mode, tap the footswitch to toggle between A/B output channels.
A AND B Footswitch: Tap the footswitch to engage/disengage A and B mode.
0°-180° Toggle: Switch to 180° to invert the phase of channel B by 180° when necessary. When you split your signal to feed two
amps, sometimes it may cause phase cancellations, resulting a thin, hollow sound. If so, inverting the phase will help. Switching to
0° to keep the signal neutral.

Specifications
●Easy Controls
The Path Seeker features an easy-to-use interface: Each output channel has an independent volume control for detailed signal mixing,
and LEDs under knobs indicate output channel working status.
●2 Working Modes
This unit features two modes: A or B mode and A and B mode. You can select an output channel in A or B mode by tapping left
footswitch, or select both in A and B mode by tapping right footswitch.
●Phase Correction
When you split your signal to two amps, sometimes it may cause phase cancellations, resulting a thin, hollow sound. If so, inverting the
phase will help. In this case, you can use the toggle to invert the phase of channel B by 180° when necessary.
●Carefully Selected Components
The Path Seeker is designed and built with carefully selected components to ensure best sound quality and road performance. The
solid Aluminum-alloy chassis ensures touring reliability.
