The UC1 does not have a power switch on the front
panel, it needs to be powered down with the mains
switch at the back. A convenient way to power down the
unit is to use a power strip equipped with a switch, or a
power sequencer.
The high sound quality DC coupling of the UC1’s analog
outputs may result in a popping sound when turning off
the unit while the downstream monitor system is still
turned on. We recommend to use a manual or
automatic power up and power down sequence as
follows: first turn the UC1 on and then the monitors.
And at the end of your working day, first turn off the
monitors and then the UC1.
Mounting the UC1
The UC1 does not produce strong RF fields nor is
susceptible to them. You can position it near other
digital gear such as computers and disk recorders
without worry. In general it is a good idea to keep some
distance between monitors (LCD and CRT) and audio
cables because of risk of induced low level noise due to
stray magnetic fields.
Grimm Audio products have a real wooden face plate
that provides a beautiful and vivid appearance. The UC1
front panel is made of Padauk. The panel is finished
with an environmentally friendly oil. To maintain the
outstanding looks, one is advised to take some
precautions:
•
Do not place the UC1 in very dry environments.
•
Do not use chemical or alcohol based cleaner on
the wood.
•
Avoid exposure to direct sun light, since the padauk
wood is susceptible to discolor in UV light.
