 Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the system and the power-
cord from time to time.
 Prevent distortion! Make sure that all components connected to the SoundMate have sufficient
power ratings. Otherwise distortion will be generated because the components are operated at
their limits.
 Avoid ground loops! Always be sure to connect the power amps from the SoundMate cabinets
and the mixing console to the same electrical circuit to ensure the same phase!
 If system is dropped or struck, disconnect mains power supply immediately. Have a qualified
engineer inspect for safety before operating.
 If the system has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do
not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your system. Leave
the system switched off until it has reached room temperature.
