4.1.3 REGISTER YOUR UNIT

We strongly urge you to fill out your warranty registration card. The m908 is covered by a 5

year transferable warranty. Registering your unit will help us contact you if there are important
updates and simplifies warranty service. So please take a few minutes to complete and send in
the enclosed card, or simply fill out the warranty registration form on our website. We always
keep your information private. Thank you!

4.2 Connecting the m908

4.2.1 Power Connections

A DC power cord is supplied to connect the PSU to the ACU. This cord can be

identified by the 8 pin circular connectors at each end.

Please note that the DC power cord should be connected

before

the AC power is turned

on.

This prevents incorrect power sequencing which can cause damage to the audio circuits. To

avoid any interference with the low level audio circuitry, the power supply should be located at
least 3’ (1m) from the ACU.

WARNING: A damaged DC power cord can create a shock hazard as voltages of 72VDC can

be present.

Do not operate the m908 with a damaged DC power cord. If damage occurs, please contact

Grace Design for a replacement. A standard AC power cable is included. For safety, the power
supply cord must be connected to a grounded outlet.

4.2.2 Audio Connections

Talkback Microphone Input:

Female XLR, pin 2 positive, pin 3 negative and pin 1 ground.

48V phantom power is supplied on pins 2 and 3. With a gain range +11dB and +19-74dB in 1dB
steps this input can be used for any type of microphone.

Talkback Microphone Output:

Male XLR, balanced, pin 2 positive, pin 3 negative and pin 1

ground. Provides a direct output of the talkback signal when talkback is active. See the
