COMPEX · Getting Started
Unpacking
Unpack the COMPEX and check to see if there is any damage to it. If you find any damage notify your supplier immediately.
Only the consignee may institute a claim with the carrier for any damage incurred during shipping. Be sure to save the carton
and all packaging materials for the carrier's inspection.
Should you ever need to ship the unit, only use the original factory packaging. If the shipping carton is unavailable, contact
your supplier to obtain a replacement.
The COMPEX carton should contain:
• COMPEX Super Analogue unit
• User's Guide
• IEC Power Cable
Rack mounting
The COMPEX will mount in a standard 19" rack system. Use four screws and washers to mount the COMPEX to the rack rails.
We recommend using a shock-mounted rack for touring use to prolong the life of your COMPEX.
To prevent accidental adjustment of settings, or unwanted tampering in a fixed installation, KV2 Audio provide an additional
security panel.
AC Power requirements
The COMPEX uses a standard IEC 3-pole AC connector. The device must be connected to a mains socket outlet with
protective earthing connection. The COMPEX operates in either 115V or 230V mode. This setup is preconfigured at the
factory. The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.
Voltage requirements
The COMPEX operates safely and without audio discontinuity if the AC voltage stays within the operating window of
90V-130V in 115V mode or 180V-260V when working in 230V mode at 50 or 60Hz.
