UNPACKING & INSPECTION
Check the contents of the shipping carton.
Be careful when unpacking your new Moog Grandmother® so that nothing is lost or damaged.
Moog recommends saving the carton and all packing materials in case you ever need to ship the
instrument for any reason.
The Grandmother ships with the following items:
Grandmother Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer
Power Supply
Owner’s Manual
Patch Cables
Registration Card
What you will need:
A table or surface where you can set your Grandmother.
A 1/4” instrument cable and amplied speaker or headphones with a 1/4” plug.
A properly wired AC outlet.
POWER
Plug the included power adapter into the 12VDC power jack on the back of your Grandmother.
NOTE: The Grandmother’s universal power supply will operate with a power source from 100 to 240
Volts AC, 50/60Hz.
Plug the other end of the included power adapter into an AC outlet.
NOTE: Your Grandmother is an analog instrument and should be allowed 10-15 minutes to warm up
before use. In cases where it has been left in a cold car overnight, for example, it may take as long as
25 minutes before oscillator tuning has stabilized. Do not operate Grandmother in direct sunlight.
AUDIO OUT / HEADPHONES
With the Master VOLUME control turned all the way down, plug one end of a 1/4” (TS) instrument
cable into Grandmother’s AUDIO OUT jack on the rear panel.
Plug the other end into an amplied speaker or mixing console input. This jack can also be used with
a set of mono or stereo headphones.
WARNING: Do not use a TRS (balanced) cable for line output applications as this will cause phase
cancellation and a very weak signal.
