IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS


The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.


The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of important operating and
maintance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompany-
ing the appliance.

1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water. Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, ase placed on this apparatus.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufactures instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus that produce heat.
9. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
10. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus (including amplifiers) has
been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not o perate normally, or has been
dropped.
11. To completely disconnect mains power from this apparatus, the power supply cord must be unplugged.

For US and CANADA only:
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding type plug has two bla des and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not
fit into your outlet, consult an electrican for replacement of the absolete outlet.

I M P O R T A N T S E R V ICE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the Operating
Instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

1. Security regulations as stated in the EN 60065 (VDE 0860) and the CSA E65 - 94 have to be obeyed when
servicing the appliance.
2. Use of a mains separator transformer is mandatory during maintenance while the appliance is opened, needs to be
operated and is connected to the mains
3. Switch off the power before retrofitting any extensions, changing the mains voltage or the output voltage.
4. The minimum distance between parts carrying mains voltage and any accessible metal piece (metal enclosure),
respectively between the mains poles has to be 3 mm and needs to be minded at all times.
The minimum distance between parts carrying mains voltage and any switches or breakers that are not connected
to the mains (secondary parts) has to be 6 mm and needs to be minded at all times.
5. Replacing special components that are marked in the circuit diagram using the security symbol (Note) is only
permissible when using original parts.
6. Altering the circuitry without prior consent or advice is not legitimate.
7. Any work security regulations that are applicable at the location where the appliance is being serviced have to be
strictly obeyed. This applies also to any regulations about the work place itself.
8. All instructions concerning the handling of M O S - circuits have to be observed.

ATTENTION!
The following special limitations apply to the console and must be observed in order to maintain safety and
electromagnetic compatibility performance:


POWER CONNECTION
The console should only be operated with the power supply connected to ground via its mains supply connector.


AUDIO CONNECTIONS
The console should only be operated with high quality screened twisted pair audio cables. A ll connector shells
should be of metal construction so that they provide a screen when they are plugged into the console. All JACK
connector shells should be connected to the cable screen. All XLR connectors should have pin 1 connected to the
cable screen.


ELECTRIC FIELDS
If the console is operated in an electromagnetic field that is amplitude modulated by an audio frequency signal,
the signal to noise ratio may be degraded. Degradation of up to 60dB may be experienced under extreme conditions
(3V/m, 90% m odulation).



INSTALLATION
There are a number of points to consider when installing a mixing console. Many of these points will have been
addressed before the console is even unpacked but it is worth repeating them.


POSITION
The console should be located in a convenient space commensurate with the use to which the console is being put.
Ideally a cool area is preferred not in close proxim ity to power distribution equipment or other potential sources
of interference. Provision should be made for some flat surface surrounding the console to prevent people using it
as a table top.


INTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
T he console is equipped with an internal power supply. It must be set for the appropriate line voltage and pluged
in to the mains outlet using the supplied cable.


MAINS VOLTAGE SETTING
The console is shipped with a specified mains voltage setting
(see rear panel marking). If the mains voltage is ever changed by
the mains voltage selector at the bottom of the console, the mains
fuse has to be changed as well to the rating matching the selected
voltage on the label.


ADDITIONAL EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY FOR VENICE 240/320
The power supply should be located as far from the console as the connecting cable will allow. It should be set for
the appropriate line voltage and plugged into the mains outlet using the supplied cable. The external power-supply
overrides the internal supply after power on. The internal supply acts in this case as spare supply.


THE CONSOLE AND THE EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED
WITH THE MAINS EARTH DISCONNECTED
Please note that the power supply contains LETHALVOLTAGES and that its rails can produce extremely
large currents which could burn out equipment and wiring if shorted. All testing and servicin g should ONLY
be carried out by qualified engineers.
