Odin S-218A Ultra Sub
IMPORTANT!
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of
this manual or any unauthorized modification to the system.
●
Always disconnect power from the mains, when system is not used. Only handle the power cord by the
plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord.
●
Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire connected to the electrical system ground.
●
Avoid flames and do not put close to flammable liquids or gases.
●
Avoid ground loops! Always be sure to connect the power amps and the mixing console to the same
electrical circuit to ensure the same phase!
●
Avoid installing your equipment very near radio or TV sets, mobile phones, etc., as these can cause RF
(radio frequency) interference.
●
Before changing your grounds around, always turn your amplifiers down.
●
Before connecting or disconnecting the power cord, make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF
position.
●
Before switching on or off, make sure that the sound system’s amplifiers are off or turned down: this will
avoid signal peaks, which are annoying and sometimes dangerous (particularly for speaker enclosures).
●
Do not connect this device to a dimmer pack.
●
Do not drive the inputs with a signal level higher than required to drive the equipment to full output.
●
Do not insert objects into air vents.
●
Do not open this device. Risk: hazardous radiation exposure.
●
Do not switch the system on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the system’s life.
●
Extreme frequency boosts in connection with a high input signal level may lead to overdriving your
equipment. Should this occur, it is necessary to reduce the input signal level by using the INPUT control.
●
For replacement use fuses of same type and rating only.
●
If device is dropped or struck, disconnect mains power supply immediately. Have a qualified engineer
inspect for safety before operating.
●
If the system has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not
switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your system. Leave the system
switched off until it has reached room temperature.
●
Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel.
●
Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the device and the power cord
from time to time.
●
Make sure that the signals into the mixer are balanced, otherwise hum could be created.
●
Make sure that there is sufficient room on all sides of the system for air circulation.
●
Make sure you do not use the wrong kind of cables or defective cables.
●
Make sure you use DI boxes to balance unbalanced signals; All incoming signals should be clear.
●
Never let the power cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power cord and all
connections with the mains with particular caution!
●
Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit.
●
Never use anything to cover the ground contact.
●
Only use device indoors, avoid contact with water or other liquids.
●
Please turn off the power switch, when changing the power cord or signal cable, or select the input mode
switch.
●
Prevent distortion! Make sure that all components connected to the Odin have sufficient power ratings.
Otherwise distortion will be generated because the components are operated at their limits.
●
Repairs, servicing and electric connection must be carried out by a qualified technician.
●
Sometimes, when you want to send one signal to more than one amplifier, you should use a signal
distributor.
●
The best way (even if not always feasible) to avoid ground loops is to connect the electric ground of all
the equipment to a single central point (“star” system). In this case, the central point can be the mixer.
●
To avoid or solve hum and buzzing troubles, try different combinations of lifting grounds on units that are
supplied with ground lift switches or make sure all chassis are connected to earth ground, either through
the A.C. power cord ground or by the front panel rack mount screws.
●
To emphasize a frequency range, you do not necessarily have to move its respective slider upwards;
instead, try lowering surrounding frequency ranges. This way, you avoid causing the next piece of
equipment in your sound path to overdrive. You also preserve valuable dynamic reserve (“headroom”).
●
When connecting the other parts of your sound system, watch out for the so-called “ground loops”.
●
WARRANTY: Till one year after date of purchase.
