Neos
Hook Up
Power Connection
The Neos is fed through the external power supply. Before connecting the power supply
always make sure that the position of the voltage selector on the back of the RackPack corre-
sponds to the voltage of your local power supply (115V position: 110-120V, 230 V position:
220-240V). In case of doubt please ask your dealer, a professional electrician or your local
power supplier.
Before you connect the external power supply to the wall socket please switch its POWER
button to OFF. Also turn off all devices that you may have already connected to the RackPack.
If signal or power connections are changed in the future, always switch off power before.
Before you connect the external power supply to the wall socket you should connect it to the
Neos (see illustration on page 12). The cable fixed to the external power supply with the multi-
pin connector on the other end is made to connect to the Neos. It is not possible to connect it
incorrectly; place the groove at the end of the plug on the spring at the socket on the Neos and
tighten the screw.
After connecting the external power supply to the Neos and selecting the correct voltage on
the external power supply, connect the power supply to the wall socket and then turn on the
Neos with the POWER switch.
IMPORTANT: Never disconnect the external power supply from the Neos while the power is
switched on. Always turn the external power supply off first and then wait approximately
one minute to allow for any residual current to discharge. Now you may disconnect the multi-
pin connector. Mind that residual current can damage the unit if you do not follow this proce-
dure!
Please read and follow all security advices on pages 4 and 5.
Signal Connections
IMPORTANT: Before first connecting any other equipment – and in all other cases where you
are connecting cables with or from other sources you should be sure to shut the unit and
all machines to be connected off (external power supply). Otherwise you risk to damage the
unit, connected gear or your ears.
On/Off Switch
With the external power supply’s Power switch you activate and deactivate the Neos, opera-
tional status is confirmed by the blue Power LED on the Neos front panel (top right corner).
On And Off
In switching on and off, you do not need to follow any particular sequence with connected
devices in the periphery of the Neos. There is, however, the general rule for a chain of devices
in the audio processing to always turn on power amplifiers last and to turn them off first.
If specified sufficiently you can also switch the external power supply on and off through a
multiway connector or other main switches.
