System 15 - Getting Started

CONNECTION

To connect the System 15 to your system, please consult the connection guides in specic patches.

HARDWARE SETUP

Make all the connections in your system. Keep the System 15 power turned o when making any connections.

Ensure your sound system is turned down.

Turn on the System 15 before turning on any power ampliers and turn it o last. This will help prevent any turn on or turn o “pops or thumps” in your speakers.

WARM UP TIME

We recommend leaving 30 minutes or more time for the System 15 to warm up before recording or live performance. (Longer if it has been brought in from the cold.) This will allow the precision circuits time to reach their normal operating temperature and tuned performance.
