Product Tour and Operations Guide
Chapter 3
This chapter provides an overview of the connectors and controls on the 628. Well explain the
operation of each as we go along. Please read through this chapter completely first and then refer
to it when necessary as you make connections to the 628 and begin operating the unit.
Now that you’ve ripped open the box ...
Start by mounting the 628 in your equipment rack with #10-32 screws (not provided). Use plastic or
nylon washers (also not provided) to minimize markings to the front panel. The 628 requires no
special ventilation; just dont mount it directly over heat generating devices (such as your 200 watt
per channel power amp or your pizza oven). Well start around back.

Plug the EIN power cord supplied with the 628 into the mains connector on the rear of the unit.
While youre there, verify that the voltage specification on the 628 matches your local mains
voltage. Look for the voltage specification on the adhesive tag to the right of the power
connector. Check that the plug matches your mains receptacle.
Warning:
If the voltage specified does not match your local mains voltage, or if
the plug on the power cord is not correct for your mains receptacle, STOP! Call the
Symetrix dealer (or your countrys distributor) who supplied your unit and trade the
628 for a unit built for your mains voltage.
If everything looks consistent, you may plug the 628 into a mains receptacle. Please verify that
the plug fits all the way into the receptacle so that none of the blades are exposed. Once con-
nected to mains power, the 628 will power up. There is no ON/OFF power switch on the 628.
Warning:
The 628 is intended to be electrically grounded. It is supplied with a
three-wire grounding plug which has a grounding pin. This plug will fit only a
grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly
grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug with an adapter.

Next connect your microphone cable
to the 3 pin, female XLR connector on
the far right side of the rear panel, as

microphone. If the connector on your
microphone connector does not

connector of the 628 have a qualified
technician replace the cable connector with a 3 pin, male XLR connector.
Caution:
Large transients (loud pops and whoomphs) may be induced when plugging and
unplugging the microphone connector. Transients also occur when you connect power to
the 628. If you have connected the output of the 628 to a console input or other audio
