a

    VOLTAGE  SWITCH 

 

Make sure that the voltage switch setting reflects the correct local power line voltage. For line 
voltages  from  100V  to  120V,  set  the  switch  to  115V.  The  230V  position  is  good  for  all  line 
voltages from 200-240Volts.

    MAINS INPUT / AC FUSES HOLDER 

 

The mains AC connector is a standard IEC-type 3 pin connector with a AC fuses (2 pieces) 
holder. The ground of this AC connector is permanently internally connected to the chassis of 
the 

Sculptor 

for safety.  It is important to change the fuse before changing the supply voltage: 

 

630mA (slo-blo; 5x20mm) for  230V~50 Hz 

 

1,25A (slo-blo; 5x20mm) for 115V~60 Hz 

 

c

    INPUT 

 
Balanced input XLR wired according to the AES standard : Pin 1 = shield, Pin 2 = hot (+), Pin 
3=  cold  (-).  In  order  to  avoid  hum,  it  is  recommended  to  use  the  device  only  in  balanced 
connections. 
 

d

   OUTPUT 

 

Balanced output XLR wired according to the AES standard : Pin 1 = shield, Pin 2 = hot (+), 
Pin 3= cold (-). In order to avoid hum, it is recommended to use the device only in balanced 
connections. 
 

e

   INSERT SEND 

 

Balanced insert 

TRS ¼” 

send wired according to the AES standard : Slave = shield, Tip = hot 

(+),  Ring  =  cold  (-).  In  order  to  avoid  hum,  it  is  recommended  to  use  the  device  only  in 
balanced connections.
