Connectors

Please pay attention to operate the mpressor with the correct voltage setting for your country and 
the proper pin assignments on the XLR connectors.

Mains module

This module combines the line cord connector, the on/off switch, the fuse holder with in-
tegrated 230/115 VAC voltage selector and a line filter for providing the transformer with 
clean current.

WARNING: High voltage

Make sure to disconnect the line cord before replacing eventually blown fuses or changing 
the operating voltage of the unit! In order to change the operating voltage, the fuse holder 
has to be taken out and re-inserted so that the desired voltage can be read correctly (and 
is not standing upside down). 

Note

: Some export versions have a fixed voltage of e.g. 100 or 

115 VAC and cannot operate at 230 VAC.

WARNING: Fuses

Always make sure to use the correct fuses for the chosen voltage: 

0 VAC 0. A Slo-Blo

 or 

11 VAC 1. A Slo-Blo

. Incorrect or missing fuses are dangerous safety hazards for both the 

unit and yourself!

Note:

 If a device that is placed before the mpressor in the signal chain has an unbalanced 

output stage, a complete mute can eventually occur when the compressor is activated. If 
this happens, please follow the advice on page 24.
