Connecting the Power Cable (Line Cord)
The SP5 runs on 15 volts DC power. If the power cord and 15V power adapter supplied
with the SP5 does not match the AC power in your area: 100, 120, 230, or 240 volts at 50–60
Hz; contact your dealer to obtain the correct voltage converter and power cord. Plug the
adapter into a wall outlet, and then connect the adapter to the DC power jack.
Connecting to Your Audio System
After you’ve turned down the level on your sound system, connect the SP5’s analog audio
outputs to your sound system using a pair of stereo or mono audio cables. Mono cables will
always work, but if you’re going into balanced inputs, use stereo cables for a better signal-to-
noise ratio and a bit more volume: the SP5’s analog outputs are balanced.
You’ll nd three 1/4-inch balanced audio output jacks on the rear panel. For now, connect
one end of each audio cable to your mixing board or PA system inputs, and connect the
other end to the jacks marked LEFT and RIGHT on the rear panel of the SP5. If you have
only one input available, use the SP5’s Left output to get the full signal in mono. Use the jack
marked HEADPHONES to listen to the SP5 on headphones. Note that when headphones
are plugged in, sound still comes through the LEFT and RIGHT audio jacks.
