Safety Issues
Pay close attention to these important electrical and safety
issues.
■ The Stella-188 requires a grounded outlet.
■ Do not use a ground-lifting adapter or cut the AC cable
ground pin.
■ Keep all liquids away from the Stella-188 to avoid haz-
ards from electrical shock.
■ Do not operate the unit if the power cables are frayed or
broken.
Audio Input
Up to eight channels of balanced audio are received via the
Stella-188’s Audio Input connector. Each of the eight audio
channels is hard-wired to the corresponding Stella-188
Channel Outputs, thereby allowing for easy distribution of
discrete audio channels for Constellation installations.
The Audio Input connector requires either a 25-pin D-sub to
8-channel audio snake, or 25-pin D-sub to D-sub cable for
connecting directly to audio processors.
Meyer Sound manufacturers the following cables that can
be used with the Stella-188 Audio Input connector (for more
information, contact Meyer Sound).
■
D-sub male to D-sub male cable, 0.5 meters
(PN 28.167.012.01)
■
