Instructions and installation

✔ Connecting the mixer to the mains supply.
Before connecting the amplifier to the mains socket, always make certain that:
- the electric system and mains socket have an adequate grounding, compatible with the safety norms (if you’re
uncertain, consult specialized personnel);
- the mains voltage corresponds to that shown on the rear of the unit (an allowance of up to ±10% is accepted);
- the power cord is not damaged and has no bare wires;
- the on/off switch is in the OFF position.
Make sure the mixer is also off before disconnecting the power cord from the mains socket. It is best to lower (or better still
close) the output levels and switch off any amplifiers connected to the line output of the mixer before switching the mixer on
or off: this avoids annoying and sometimes dangerous (particularly for the speaker cabinets) signal peaks.

✔ Connection and prevention or identification of possible disturbances.
First of all, check that the mixer is installed in a place free from industrial or RF (radio frequency) interference. Avoid installing your
equipment very near radio or TV sets, mobile phones, etc., as these can cause noisy interference. When connecting the other
components of your sound system, watch out for the so-called “ground loops”, which could cause hum and jeopardize the mixer’s
excellent Signal-to-Noise and low distortion characteristics. The best way (even if not always feasible) to avoid ground loops is to
connect the electric ground of all the equipment to a single central point (the so-called “star” system). In this case, the central point
in sound systems is the mixer.

✔ Protection and maintenance.
Do not force knobs, switches or faders: they have been designed to respond to a light touch and could be damaged if treated
with excessive force. Take care of the connector cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding pulling the wire
and avoid knots and twists when coiling them: this gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability, which is always
to your advantage. Periodically check that your cables are in good condition and are correctly wired and that all their contacts
are perfect: a great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable
or faulty cables.
Avoid exposing the mixer to direct sun, strong heat, intense vibrations, very dusty or damp surroundings, or even worse, rain:
this will avoid eventual malfunction, deterioration or even electric shocks and fires. Any dust on the mixer should be removed
using a soft dry cloth or a brush; never use alcohol, acetone or solvents.

✔ In the event of breakdown
All user-adjustable parts are external and easily accessible. Never open the amplifier: you could run the risk of serious electric
shocks. In the event of breakdown, contact the nearest GENERALMUSIC/LEM Assistance Centre

✔ Conservation of documents and packing.
Keep this manual for future consultation. On this subject, remember a golden rule: equipment always gets a better price on
the secondhand market if it has all its original documentation and packing as well as being well kept.
