DIGITAL RACK MIXER M32R User Manual

Terminals marked with this symbol carry 

electrical current of sufficient magnitude 
to constitute risk of electric shock. 

Use only high-quality professional speaker cables with 
¼" TS or twist-locking plugs pre-installed. All other 
installation or modification should be performed only 
by qualified personnel.

This symbol, wherever it appears, 

alerts you to the presence of uninsulated 
dangerous voltage inside the 

enclosure - voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a 
risk of shock.

This symbol, wherever it appears, 

alerts you to important operating and 
maintenance instructions in the 

accompanying literature. Please read the manual.

Caution

remove the top cover (or the rear section). 

No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to 
qualified personnel.

Caution

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, 
do not expose this appliance to rain and 

moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping 
or splashing liquids and no objects filled with liquids, 
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

Caution

These service instructions are for use 
by qualified service personnel only.
