Safety instructions
Intended use
This device is intended to be used for amplification, mixing and playback
of signals from musical instruments and microphones. Use the device only as
described in this user manual. Any other use or use under other operating
conditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or
property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from
improper use. This device may be used only by persons with sufficient
physical, sensorial, and intellectual abilities and having corresponding
knowledge and experience. Other persons may use this device only if they are
supervised or instructed by a person who is responsible for their safety.
DANGER!
Danger for children Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of
properly and are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking
hazard! Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the
like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke! Never let
children unattended use electrical devices.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside Within the device there are
areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are
no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not use the device if covers, protectors
or optical components are missing or damaged.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit Always use proper ready-made insulated
mains cabling (power cord) with a protective contact plug. Do not modify the
mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death
or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.
NOTICE!
Risk of fire Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near
any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked flames.
NOTICE!
Operating conditions This device has been designed for indoor use only. To
prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid
direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations. Only operate the device
within the ambient conditions specified in the chapter ‘Technical
specifications’ of this user manual. Avoid heavy temperature fluctuations and
do not switch the device on immediately after it was exposed to temperature
fluctuations (for example after transport at low outside temperatures). Dust
and dirt inside can damage the unit. When operated in harmful ambient
conditions (dust, smoke, nicotine, fog, etc.), the unit should be maintained
by qualified service personnel at regular intervals to prevent overheating and
other malfunction.
NOTICE!
External power supply The device is powered by an external power supply.
Before connecting the external power supply, ensure that the input voltage (AC
outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is
protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the device and possibly the user. Unplug the external power
supply before electrical storms occur and when the device is unused for long
periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

Plug and connection assignment
Introduction
This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your
valuable equip‐ment in such a way that a perfect sound experience is ensured.
Please note these advices, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is
indicated: Even if a plug fits into the socket, an incorrect connection may
result in a destroyed power amp, a short circuit or ‘just’ in poor
transmission quality!
Balanced and unbalanced transmission
Unbalanced transmission is mainly used in semi-professional environment and in
hifi use. Instrument cables with two conductors (one core plus shielding) are
typical representatives of the unbalanced transmission. One conductor is
ground and shielding while the signal is trans‐mitted through the core.
Unbalanced transmission is susceptible to electromagnetic interference,
especially at low levels, such as microphone signals and when using long
cables. In a professional environment, therefore, the balanced transmission is
preferred, because this enables an undisturbed transmission of signals over
long distances. In addition to the conduc‐tors ‘Ground’ and ‘Signal’, in a
balanced transmission a second core is added. This also transfers the signal,
but phase-shifted by 180° Since the interference affects both cores equally,
by subtracting the phase-shifted signals, the interfering signal is completely
neutralized. The result is a pure signal without any noise inter‐ference.
