Owner's manual

Module fix screws - Hexagon head screws are used to fix the modules and back
cover. The size being 1.5mm HEX A/F with a 2.5M thread.
If it becomes necessary to remove modules or back cover it is strongly advised using
a good quality hexagonal head driver.
Use of a screwdriver, however desperate, is not recommended.
Microphone powering - the mixer will remain unconditionally stable if the powering on
unterminated input channels is switched off - this also improves the noise
performance and crosstalk. Powering - phantom (or 12v tonader) - may be selected
before or after the microphone is connected to the module.
Surfaces - every working surface is covered by a hard plastic membrane which is
printed on the reverse side. These surfaces may be cleaned by most solvents, and
without fear of the legends being erased.
Connectors - for convenience, the connector panel is labelled for reading from above.
All connectors are in line with their corresponding module.
Every input module is mechanically shielded against radio-frequency interference.
In order to facilitate the testing and calibration of all modules, a set of two extender
modules is available from the factory.
