BLUE DEVIL GX112

5. INSTALLATION

Your BEHRINGER BLUE DEVIL was carefully packed in the factory and the packaging is designed to protect

the unit from rough handling. Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the packaging and its

contents for any signs of physical damage, which may have occurred during transit.

+

If the unit is damaged, please do not return it to BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the

shipping company immediately, otherwise claims for damage or replacement may not be granted.

Shipping claims must be made by the consignee.

5.1 Mains connection

Please ensure that the BLUE DEVIL is set to the correct supply voltage before connecting the unit to

the AC power system!

Three triangular markings can be found on the fuse holder at the AC power connection

socket. Two of these three triangles will be aligned with one another. The BLUE DEVIL is set to the operating

voltage shown next to these markings and can be switched over by twisting the fuse holder by 180°.

IMPORTANT: This does not apply to export models designed only for 115 V AC!

The mains connection of the BLUE DEVIL is made by using the enclosed mains cable and a standard IEC

receptacle. It meets all of the international safety certification requirements.

+

Please make sure that all units have a proper ground connection. For your own safety, never

remove or disable the ground conductor of the unit or of the AC power cable.

5.2 Audio connections

The BEHRINGER BLUE DEVIL is installed with unbalanced 1/4" jacks. Only the headphones output is available

via a stereo 1/4" jack.

+

Please ensure that only qualified persons install and operate the BLUE DEVIL. During installation

and operation the user must have sufficient electrical contact to earth. Electrostatic charges

might affect the operation of the BLUE DEVIL!
