SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
For your own safety and to avoid invalidation of the warranty please read this section carefully.
The
FOLIO
desk must only be connected through the Power Supply Unit supplied.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow:
Earth
Blue:
Neutral
Brown:
Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
••
The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter E or by the earth symbol.
••
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N
or coloured Black.
••
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L
or coloured Red.
Ensure that these colour codings are followed carefully in the event of the plug being changed.
To avoid the risk of fire replace the fuse only with the correct value fuse, as indicated on the power supply.
The power supply contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to a qualified service engineer,
through the appropriate Soundcraft dealer.
INITIAL SETTING UP
You will probably use your
SPIRIT FOLIO
with a wide range of different types of sound source, and these will be at varying
signal levels. It is important to set the GAIN of the inputs correctly to give the best performance.
Set up the individual mono input channels as follows:
••
Plug in the chosen source (usually the MIC input for mics and the LINE input for anything else). Plug in phantom
powered mics before switching the phantom power on.
••
Set the Master Faders fully down.
••
Provide the chosen source with a typical signal level and press and hold the PFL button by the fader. The level of
signal will be shown on the right-hand Bargraph Meter (the Left meter will be switched off by depressing the PFL
button).
