Important Mains plug wiring instructions. 
The console is supplied with a moulded mains plug fitted to the AC mains power lead. Follow the instructions 
below if the mains plug has to be replaced.  The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the fol-
lowing code: 
TERMINAL  WIRE COLOUR 
European  USA/Canada 
L  LIVE  BROWN  BLACK 
N  NEUTRAL  BLUE  WHITE 
E  EARTH GND  GREEN & YELLOW  GREEN 
Damage : 
To prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics avoid placing heavy objects on the 
control surface, scratching the surface with sharp objects, or rough handling and vibra-
tion. 
Environment : 
Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat and vibration when operating and storing. 
Avoid tobacco ash, smoke, drinks spillage, and exposure to rain and moisture. If 
the console becomes wet, switch off and remove mains power immediately. Allow to 
dry out thoroughly before using again. 
Cleaning : 
Avoid the use of chemicals, abrasives or solvents. The control panel is best cleaned 
with a soft brush and dry lint-free cloth. The faders, switches and potentiometers are 
lubricated for life. The use of electrical lubricants on these parts is not recommend-
ed. The fader and potentiometer knobs may be removed for cleaning with a warm 
soapy solution. Rinse and allow to dry fully before refitting them. 
Transporting : 
The console may be transported as a free-standing unit or mounted in a rack or 
flightcase. Protect the controls from damage during transit. Use adequate packing if 
you need to ship the unit. 
Hearing :
To avoid damage to your hearing do not operate any sound system at excessively 
high volume.  This also applies to any close-to-ear monitoring such as headphones. 
Continued  exposure  to  high  volume  sound  can  cause  frequency selective  or  wide 
range hearing loss.
