INSTALLATION
There are a number of points to consider when installing a mixing console. Many of these points will have
been addressed before the console is even unpacked but it is worth repeating them.
POSITION
The console should be located in a convenient space commensurate with the use to which the console is being
put. Ideally a cool area is preferred not in close proximity to power distribution equipment or other potential
sources of interference. Provision should be made for some flat surface surrounding the console to prevent
people using it as a table top.
POWER
The power supply should be located as far from the console as the connecting cable will allow. It should be
set for the appropriate line voltage and plugged into the mains outlets using the supplied cables.
THE POWER SUPPLYSHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED

ATTENTION!
The following special limitations apply to the console and must be observed in order to maintain safety and
electromagnetic compatibility performance:
POWER CONNECTION
The console should only be operated with the power supply connected to ground via its mains supply
connector.
CONTROL CONNECTIONS
The console should only be operated with high quality screened control cables. All connector shells should be
of metal construction so that they provide a screen when they are plugged into the console. All ground
connections should be made as shown on the connections page (over leaf).
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
The console should only be operated with high quality screened twisted pair audio cables. All connector shells
should be of metal construction so that they provide a screen when they are plugged into the console. All
ground connections should be made as shown on the connections page (over leaf).
ELECTRIC FIELDS
If the console is operated in an electromagnetic field that is amplitude modulated by an audio frequency signal,
the signal to noise ratio may be degraded. Degradation of up to 60dB may be experienced under extreme
conditions (3V/m, 90% modulation).
