Connecting the 1046 to your system
To connect the 1046 to your system, refer to the following steps:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Mount the 1046 in a rack
Install the 1046 in a rack with the rack screws provided. It can be mounted above or below anything
that does not generate excessive heat. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 113˚ F (45˚ C) when
equipment is in use. Although the unit is shielded against radio frequency and electromagnetic
interference, extremely high fields of RF and EMI should be avoided.
• Make audio connections via XLR, 1/4” TRS, or 1/4” TS plugs.
Both types of connectors for the inputs and outputs can be used for balanced or unbalanced
connections. The use of more than one connector at a time for the input/output pair could unbalance
balanced lines, cause phase cancellations, short a conductor to ground, or cause damage to other
equipment connected to the 1046.
• Apply power to the 1046
Connect the AC power cord to the AC power receptacle on the back of the unit. Route the AC power
cord to a convenient power outlet away from audio lines. The unit may be turned on and off via the
rear panel power switch or from a master equipment power switch.
