UNPACKING & INSPECTION
SETUP & CONNECTIONS
POWER
Plug the included power adapter into the
12VDC power jack on the rear panel of your
Subharmonicon.
NOTE: There is no power switch on your Subharmonicon. Once connected to the power supply, the unit is On.
Subharmonicon is an analog instrument and should be allowed a few minutes to warm up before use. In cases
where it has been left in a cold car overnight, for example, it may take even longer for the oscillator tuning to
stabilize. For optimized tuning do not operate your Subharmonicon in direct sunlight.
AUDIO OUT /
With the Subharmonicon VOLUME knob turned all the way down (counterclockwise), plug one end
of a 1/4” instrument cable into the Subharmonicon AUDIO OUT / jack on the rear panel. Then plug
the other end into an amplified speaker or mixing console input. This jack can also be used with a set
of mono or stereo headphones, providing the same signal to each ear. Now, raise the VOLUME knob
(clockwise) to bring the sound to an appropriate level.
WARNING: Do not use a TRS (balanced) cable for line output applications, as this will cause phase cancellation
and can produce a very weak signal.
KENSINGTON SECURITY SLOT
Your Subharmonicon can be securely attached to a desk, stand, or other fixture by connecting a
Kensington security device to this slot.
