IMPORTANT:
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of
this manual or any unauthorized modification to the system.
• Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit.
• Never leave any cables lying around.
• Do not connect this system to a dimmerpack.
• Do not switch the system on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the system’s li fe.
• Do not open the device and do not modify the device.
• Do not drive the inputs with a signal level bigger, than required to drive the equipment to full output.
• Only use system indoor, avoid contact with water or other liquid s.
• Avoid flames and do not put close to flammable liquids or gases.
• Make sure you don’t use the wrong kind of cables or defective cables.
• Extreme frequency boosts in connection with a high input signal l evel may lead to overdriving your
equipment. Should this occur, i t is necessary to reduce the inpu t signal level by using th e INPUT
control.
• To emphasize a frequency range, you don’t necessarily hav e to move its respective control up ward;
try lowering surrounding frequency ranges instead. This way, you avoid causing the next piece of
equipment in your sound path to overdrive. You also preserve valuable dynamic reserve
(“headroom”)
• Avoid ground loops! Always be sure to connect the power amps and the mixing console to the
same electrical circuit to ensure the same phase!
• If system is dropped or struck, disconnect the power supply or USB cable immediately . Have a
qualified engineer inspect for safety b efore operating.
• If the system has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not
switch it on immediately. The arising condensa tion water mi ght damage your syst em. Leave the
system switched off until it has reached room temperature.
• If your Dap Audio device fails to work properly, discon tinu e use immediately . Pack the unit secur ely
(pref e rably in th e or iginal pa cking material), and return it to you r Dap Audio dealer for se rv ice.
• Repairs, servicing and electric connection must be carried out by a qualified technician.
• For replacement use fuses of same type and rating only.
