Important Safety Instructions

Terminals marked with this symbol carry electrical current of sufficient magnitude to constitute risk of electric shock. Use only high-quality professional speaker cables with ¼” TS or twist-locking plugs pre-installed. All other installation or modification should be performed only by qualified personnel.

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure – voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock.
This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. Please read the manual.
Caution
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover (or the rear section). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Caution
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain and moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

SONIC EXCITER SX3040 Controls

Controls
BASS PROCESSOR

1. DRIVE – This control adjusts the intensity for bass processing. The optimal working point is set when the green LED lights up regularly as loud bass signal peaks occur. The longer the LED lights up, the longer the duration of the bass signal at peak levels (Sustain), leading to a tighter and more voluminous bass.

2. TUNE – This control selects an upper cut-off frequency for bass processing. The control range is from 50 Hz (MIN) to 145 Hz (MAX).

3. MIX – This control defines the portion of the processed bass signal that should be mixed with the original signal.
   SONIC EXCITER

4. TUNE – Sets the cut-off frequency at which the harmonic exciter starts working. The control range is from 1.2 kHz (MIN) to 10.5 kHz (MAX).

5. HARMONICS – This control is used to set the number of harmonics that should be added to the signal. This parameter has a direct influence on the detail reproduction and the quality of the sound. Use the “MIN” setting for critical signals, e.g. voice, and “MAX” for extreme processing, e.g. for drums.

6. MIX – Defines the portion of the harmonic exciter signal that should be mixed with the original signal.

7. IN/OUT – Activates (blue LED) and deactivates (red LED) the signal processing. The button LED lights blue in the active operating mode (button pressed in).

8. POWER – Use the POWER switch to put the unit into operation. The POWER switch should be in the “Off” position when you connect the unit to the power feed (mains).

9. IEC POWER SOCKET.

10. CH1 OUT – Balanced XLR sockets and ¼” jacks. These are used to connect amplifiers as well as further signal processors and recording devices. The jacks and XLR sockets can be used in parallel when two outputs are required.

11. CH1 IN – Balanced XLR sockets and ¼” jacks. These are used to connect line-level signal sources (e.g. a mixing console). To avoid interference, use only the jacks or the XLR sockets, not both at once.
