INSTALLATION
The TPS
may be used in a wide variety of applications and
environments. In a rack-mountable, all-steel enclosure, the units are
designed for continuous professional use. Mounting location is not
critical. However, for greater reliability we recommend that you not
place the units on top of power amps or other sources of heat. The
tube circuitry needs about a minute to “warm up” from a cold power up.
AC POWER HOOKUP
The TPS
has an internal power supply designed to operate at 115
VAC @ 50 to 60 Hz. Units manufactured for use outside the United
States of America have been modified to comply with the required
electrical specifications.
ANALOG AUDIO CONNECTIONS
Audio connections to and from the TPS
are balanced XLR (Pin 2 =
Hot (+), Pin 3 = Cold (-), Pin 1 = Ground) and unbalanced ¼
"
(Tip =
Hot (+), Sleeve = Ground). We recommend that you switch off the
+48V Phantom Power whenever changing connections to the XLR
input. The front mounted jacks can act as both a balanced XLR
connection, and an unbalanced ¼
"
connection.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning:
To avoid the risk of shock or fire, do not expose this unit to
moisture. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Do not remove the
