Any use of the controls, or any adjustment, or the performance of any procedure other than those specified herein may

WARNING: - THIS MIXER MUST BE EARTHED FOR SAFETY AND GOOD GROUNDING PRACTICES IN
MIXING.
In the event of ground - loop problems in the audio system, DO NOT disconnect the AC supply earth to any
equipment before consulting equipment instruction manuals. For example most power amplifiers have audio
ground lift switches, or are designed specifically to avoid ground - loop problems connected to ‘earthed’ mixers.
Ensure the mixer has a ‘clean’ AC supply from a wall socket that is not used for other equipment that would lead
to interference - such as lights, refrigerators etc.
The SM-FX500 Ultima is available in AC supply standard:
200 - 240V AC - UK, EUROPE, KOREA & CHINA
General Do’s & Don’ts
There are a few general Do’s and Don’ts thoughts that you should become familiar with if you have not had a
great deal of experience with professional audio systems.
Cables & Connectors - Always use good quality cables and connectors. It might seem expensive when you first
look at it, but the first time you have a problem in front of an audience you’ll curse the day you didn’t make that
small investment. Over 30 years in the business has taught us that over 75% of all problems with DJ systems
are simple connector ones. Don’t get caught out.
Switching on your system - Get into the habit of turning on the mixer and all the inputs to it before you turn on
the amplifiers. Play safe; always turn on your amplifiers last.
Power Supply - The power supply for your SM-FX500 Ultima is built into the mixer and will be fitted with a mains
plug specifically for the mains supply in your country. If it does not match the power socket you wish to use
check with your dealer before you plug it in. It is possible you could damage your mixer if it is not the correct
version for your mains power supply. Worse still, it could be unsafe. Don’t take chances with Mains Power - it
can kill.
Crossfader - The crossfader is the most used feature on your mixer and great care has been taken in the choice
of components for this function. Even so, it is the most likely thing to wear out first on your mixer, so we’ve made
it quick and easy to replace. Don’t get caught out, always carry a spare.
