Important Notice regarding the VU Meters:
The needles in the meters are highly sensitive to electrostatic charges. This can cause the needle to
initially stick when first powered on or lag behind the other meter. The static charge will normally
dissipate after a few seconds, but take extra care when polishing or cleaning the mixer, and be sure
to use a soft cotton or anti
- static cloth with a specialist anti - static spray to avoid inducing a charge
on the meter. Take care when wiping the meter windows as they can be easily scratched.
Care of the Mixer
When fitting the mixer into a 19” rack unit, always use protective nylon washes under the securing screws to
avoid damaging the anodised aluminium faceplate, and do not overtighten.
If liquid is accidentally spilt onto the mixer, turn off the power supply immediately, and if possible turn the unit
upside
- down to minimise ingress. Clean off the spill with a damp cloth, and dry thoroughly before powering
back on. If afterwards the mixer fails to function properly or is excessively noisy, contact Union Audio technical
support, or an appointed service agent to have the unit inspected at the earliest opportunity.
When not in use, cover the mixer with a dedicated protective screen or dust sheet, and avoid siting the unit
where it will be in direct sunlight for any length of time. Clean stains or spills with a soft damp cloth and dry
carefully with a soft cotton cloth. Never use harsh abrasive or solvent based cleaning products.
Turn off the mixer when not in use to minimise power consumption, and consider additional cooling (such as a
directing a desktop fan at the mixer and power supply) when operating in high ambient temperatures.
Only ever store the unit in a dry environment as dampness and high humidity will shorten the life of the
potentiometers and could promote internal corrosion.
