• Use the equipment only as intended and for its intended purpose.
• Ensure that the stands and/or mounts used are sufficiently stable and compatible for fixed installations. Wall mounts should be properly installed and secured, and the equipment should be installed securely to prevent falls.
• When installing the equipment, be sure to observe the relevant safety regulations in your country.
• Do not install or operate the equipment near sources of heat, such as radiators, heat registers, or ovens, and ensure that it is always cooled sufficiently and cannot overheat.
• Do not place sources of ignition, such as burning candles, on the equipment.
• Keep ventilation slits unobstructed.
• For equipment designed for indoor use only should not be used near water, flammable materials, fluids, or gases. Special outdoor equipment should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Ensure that no dripping or splashed water can enter the equipment and do not place containers filled with liquids on the equipment.
• Prevent objects from falling into the equipment.
• Use the equipment only with recommended accessories intended by the manufacturer.
• Do not attempt to open or modify the equipment.
• Check all cables after connecting the equipment to prevent accidents or damage due to tripping hazards.
• During transport, take steps to prevent the equipment from falling and causing damage or injury.
• If the equipment is not functioning properly, fluids or objects have gotten inside, or is otherwise damaged, switch it off immediately and unplug it from the power outlet (if applicable). Only authorized, qualified personnel should repair the equipment.
• Clean the equipment with a dry cloth.
• Comply with all applicable disposal laws and separate plastic and paper/cardboard during packaging disposal.
• Keep plastic bags out of the reach of children.

FOR DEVICES DESIGNED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY:

• ATTENTION: If your equipment has a power cord with a grounding plug, it must be connected to a wall outlet with a ground connection. Never remove the grounding plug from the power cord.
• If your equipment has been exposed to extreme temperature changes, allow it to reach room temperature before turning it on. Otherwise, moisture and condensation may damage the equipment.
• Before plugging in the equipment, make sure that the voltage and frequency of the power outlet match the specifications of the equipment. If the equipment has a voltage selector, only connect it to the power outlet if the values match. If the power cord or adapter does not fit your outlet, contact an electrician.
• Do not step on the power cord. Make sure it is not pinched at the outlet, adapter, or equipment connection.
• Keep the power cord or adapter within reach and disconnect the equipment from the power supply when not in use or when cleaning it. Always unplug the cord or adapter by pulling the plug or adapter, not the cord. Never touch the cord or adapter with wet hands.
• Avoid frequently turning the equipment on and off, as this can reduce its useful life.
• IMPORTANT: Only replace fuses with those of the same type and rating. If a fuse repeatedly blows, contact an authorized service center.
• To completely disconnect the equipment from the power mains, unplug the power cord or adapter from the outlet.
• If your device has a Volex power connector, the mating Volex connector must be unlocked before it can be removed. Be careful when laying cables, as the equipment can slide or fall if the power cord is pulled.
• Unplug the power cord or adapter before an extended period of disuse or in case of lightning strike risk.
• Only install the equipment when it is disconnected from the power source.
• To prevent damage and overheating, qualified personnel should regularly clean and service the equipment depending on ambient conditions like dust, nicotine, and fog.
  If the product contains the following symbols, please, read carefully:

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). There are no user serviceable parts inside. Maintenance and repairs should be exclusively carried out by qualified service personnel.

The warning triangle with lightning symbol indicates dangerous uninsulated voltage inside the unit, which may cause an electrical shock.
The warning triangle with exclamation mark indicates important operating and maintenance instructions.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Being on stage or in the studio, musicians often look for ways to connect certain signal sources directly to the mixing console. Even though this approach has obvious advantages, there are still some technical hurdles obstructing its implementation. Or example, keyboards seldom feature balanced outputs, and guitars can not be directly connected to mixing consoles because of the high impedance of quitar signals.
The ADI100P direct box lets you directly tap into a high-impedance, unbalanced signal-for example, the signal between a guitar and a guitar amp. From there on, you can feed the signal directly to a mixing console.

CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTIONS

• 1 + 2 INPUT/PARA OUT (1/4″ TS): These connectors are used for connecting unbalanced signal sources. Because both connectors are wired in parallel, they can be used both as an input and as a direct output to loop the sianal through to a monitor amplifier.
• 3 Output (XLR):This is the balanced mic-level output. Use a high-quality balanced microphone cable to extablish connection.
• 4 Using the “Ground” switch (ground lift), you can fully separate input and output grounding. Depending on how the equipment to which your ADIOOP is connected is grounded, using the and lift switch lets you lower hum noise or ground loops. When the and lift switch is in lift position, the ground connection is interrupted.

CONTROL AN INSTRUMENT SIGNAL

This ilustration shows the application of a DI-box. The signal feeding the amplifier remains unchanged; it is simply taken and routed into the amp. The low-impedance balanced signal is forwarded to the mic input of the mixing console. This application has its advantages particularly with bass guitars, because very few pickups can linearly transmit bass frequencies with high signal levels. lf you are using effects, insert the ADI100P after the effects device, so that you can monitor the effects via the PA system or the recording as well.
