with both a built-in active summing network, as well as a passive summing 
node - basically an amplified and unamplified mode.  Due to the nature of 
the servo controlled summing amp design, both modes 

can not

 be used 

at the same time.  To select passive mode simply unplug the AC cable; 
remove the top cover; and switch the left & right stereo bus jumpers from 
"active" to "passive" as marked on the circuit board: 
 

 

 
A sum.mation unit 

must

 be in passive mode in order to cascade 

into

 

another sum.mation unit.  A maximum of two units may be cascaded 
together on the same summing bus.  The receiving unit may be in passive 
or active mode as the user sees fit.  Failure to follow these instructions 
may damage the unit and void the warranty. 
 
When using sum.mation in passive mode with external microphone 
preamps as makeup gain, 

be aware 

that 48V phantom power can damage 

the sum.mation circuitry.  Please be sure to 

turn off phantom power

 on 

your mic pre's before connecting sum.mation to them. 
 
**A few words about grounding** 
 
When using sum.mation, the user must be aware that there are several 
ground paths possible:  the sum.mation chassis; the chassis of the 
equipment feeding 

into 

sum.mation; the chassis of the equipment 

sum.mation is feeding 

into

; and the USB connection to the host computer.
