Important Mains plug wiring instructions 

 

The console is supplied with a moulded mains plug fitted to the AC 
mains power lead. Follow the instructions below if the mains plug has to 
be replaced.  The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance 
with the following code: 

 

!

 

 

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 with the Earth sym-
bol.  This appliance must be earthed. 

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal in the 

plug which is marked with the letter N. 

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal in the 
plug which is marked with the letter L. 

Ensure that these colour codes are followed carefully in the event of the 

plug being changed.

General Precautions: 

 

Damage :

 

 

To prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics avoid placing heavy objects 

on the control surface, scratching the surface with sharp objects, or rough 

handling and vibration. 

Environment :

 

 

Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat and vibration when operating and stor-

ing.  Avoid tobacco ash, smoke, drinks spillage, and exposure to rain and mois-

ture.  If the console becomes wet, switch off and remove mains power imme-

diately. Allow to dry out thoroughly before using again. 

Cleaning :

 

 

Avoid the use of chemicals, abrasives or solvents. The control panel is best 

cleaned with a soft brush and dry lint-free cloth. The faders, switches and po-

tentiometers are lubricated for life. The use of electrical lubricants on these 

parts is not recommended.  The fader and potentiometer knobs may be re-

moved for cleaning with a warm soapy solution.  Rinse and allow to dry fully 

before refitting them. 

Transporting :

 

 

The console may be transported as a free-standing unit or mounted in a rack 

or flightcase.  Protect the controls from damage during transit.  Use adequate 

packing if you need to ship the unit. 

Hearing : 

 

To avoid damage to your hearing do not operate any sound system at exces-

sively high volume.  This applies particularly to close-to-ear monitoring such as 

headphones and in-ear systems.  Continued exposure to high volume sound 

can cause frequency selective or wide range hearing loss.
