General Precautions

Avoid storing or using the mixing console in conditions of excessive heat or cold, or in positions where it is likely to be subject to vibration,
dust or moisture. Do not use any liquids to clean the fascia of the unit: a soft dry cloth is ideal.

Avoid using the console close to strong sources of electromagnetic radiation (e.g. video monitors, high-power electric cabling): this may
cause degradation of the audio quality due to induced voltages in connecting leads and chassis.

Caution! In all cases, refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Handling and Transport

The console is supplied in a strong carton. If it is necessary to move it any distance after installation it is recommended that this packing
is used to protect it. Be sure to disconnect all cabling before moving. If the console is to be regularly moved we recommend that it is
installed in a foam lined flightcase. At all times avoid applying excessive force to any knobs, switches or connectors.

Power Cable

Always use the power supply cable supplied with the mixer: the use of alternative cables may cause damage and voids the warranty.

W a r n i n g !  In the event of an electrical storm, or large mains voltage

fluctuations, immediately switch off the mixer and unplug from the mains.

Signal Levels

It is important to supply the correct input levels to the console, otherwise signal to noise ratio or distortion performance may be
degraded; and in extreme cases, damage to the internal circuitry may result. Likewise, on all balanced inputs avoid sources with
large common mode DC, AC or RF voltages, as these will reduce the available signal range on the inputs. Note that OdBu =0.775V
RMS.

Refer to the Specifications section for details of input and output levels.

Installation

For your own safety and to avoid

invalidation of the warranty please

read this section carefully.

DPS-3 POWER SUPPLY

The LIVE 8 is supplied with a DPS-3 power supply unit. Consult the DPS-3 manual before making any connections. Always use the
power supply which is supplied with the console.

Ensure that the DPS-3 power supply is NOT connected to the Mains and is turned OFF.

The power supply can be positioned anywhere within reach of the LIVE 8 and an available power socket, but it is best rack-mounted in
a position where airflow through the vents is not obstructed, and where the power switch or cables cannot be accidentally knocked.

Connect the multi-way power cable between the DPS-3 and the LIVE 8 power connector. Screw the connector locking rings clockwise
on both units to secure the cable. The locking rings should be firm, but not tight. Connect the IEC type mains cable to the mains input
socket on the DPS-3. Connect the other end to the nearest plug socket and switch on the power to the DPS-3.
