Unpacking and Inspection

Your Alesis airFX was carefully packed at the factory, and the shipping
carton was designed to protect the unit during shipping. Please retain
this container in the highly unlikely event that you need to return your
processor for servicing.

The shipping carton should contain the following items:

• airFX Processor
• Two stereo phono-to-phono cables
• This instruction manual
• Program Chart
• Power Supply, Alesis model P3
• Alesis Warranty card

It is important to register your purchase; if you have not already
filled out your warranty card and mailed it back to Alesis, please
take the time to do so now.

Basic Connections

The airFX is designed to function with a wide range of equipment,
from CD players to musical instruments. The only requirement is that
the input and output be line level (for the technically minded,
unbalanced -10 dBu).

This means that you never want to plug the powered output of
an amplifier or receiver into the airFX. These speaker-level
voltages will fry the electronics inside of the airFX.

The systems on the next few pages will give you some examples of
typical systems where the airFX is used. If you can’t apply one of
these systems to your own setup, contact Alesis or your dealer for
assistance.
