CONNECTING AC MAINS TO THE CONSOLE
Refer to the SAFETY WARNING on the first page of this User Guide.
Mains input to the GL2000 is via a standard 3 pin IEC mains input connector. A mains cable with moulded mains
plug suitable for the local supply is supplied.
Check that the voltage indicated in the fuseholder window is the same
as the mains supply in your area.

For best performance it is important that the earth system is solid, clean and noise-free. To prevent mains born
and external interference pickup from lighting equipment, motors and other mains powered equipment it is
recommended that a separate 'clean' mains distribution outlet is used for the audio system.
All signal cables should have their screens connected to earth at the connector. If earth (ground) loop problems
result in audible hum or buzz then disconnect the cable screen connection at one end, usually the destination end.
This may be done within the cable plug or by operating the 'ground lift' switch if available on the connected
equipment. Many DI boxes and power amplifiers include this facility.

EARTHING THE AUDIO SYSTEM
The console chassis is connected to mains earth via the power cable. Audio 0V is connected internally to the chassis
and therefore mains earth. In this way all signal returns and connector shields are connected to mains earth at the
console.
To ensure operator safety do not remove the earth connection from
the AC mains plug.
To avoid the risk of fire replace the fuse only with the correct type and
value as specified on the unit.
