Studio 32 Reference Manual 26
Power
Make sure you read the initial Important Safety Instructions chapter at the front of
this manual.
The Studio 32 works with a single standard line voltage and comes with a
detachable AC line cord suitable for the destination to which the mixing console is
shipped. Units sold in the United States are designed for use with 110 to 120 volt
AC power only (nominal 60 Hz).
The line cable cable is a IEC-spec AC power cable (do not substitute any other AC
cord), which is designed to be connected to an outlet that includes three pins, with
the third, round pin connected to ground. The ground connection is an important
safety feature designed to keep the chassis of electronic devices such as the Studio
32 at ground potential. Unfortunately, the presence of a third pin does not always
indicate that an outlet is properly grounded. You may use an AC line tester to
determine this. If the outlet is not grounded, consult with a licensed electrician.
When AC currents are suspected of being highly unstable in VAC and Hz, a
professional power conditioner should be used.
To connect power to the Studio 32:
1 Attach the female end of the AC power cord to the Studio 32’s back panel and
the male end to a good quality, noise-free AC power source of the proper rating.
2 To apply power to the Studio 32, switch on the POWER switch on the back
panel, so that it is in the | (on) position.
Do not operate any electrical equipment with ungrounded outlets. Plugging the
Studio 32 into an ungrounded outlet, or “lifting” the unit off ground with a three-to-
two wire adapter, can create a hazardous condition.
Alesis cannot be responsible for problems caused by using the Studio 32 or any
associated equipment with improper AC wiring.
