• Burning of the skin or dermatitis may result if uid
has gotten onto your skin or clothing. Use clean
water to ush aected areas thoroughly; then,
promptly see a doctor.
• Using a soft cloth, carefully wipe any remaining
uid from the inside of the battery compartment.
Then, install new batteries.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet
that is being used by an electrical appliance that
is controlled by an inverter or a motor (such as a
refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or
air conditioner). Depending on the way in which
the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise
may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce
audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate
electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise lter
between this unit and the electrical outlet.
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after
long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is
not a cause for concern.
Power Supply: Use of Batteries
• Before installing/removing batteries, make sure to
turn o the power to this unit and disconnect all
connections to other devices.
• If operating this unit on batteries, please use
rechargeable Ni-MH batteries or Alkaline batteries.
Placement
• Using the unit near power ampliers (or other
equipment containing large power transformers)
may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change
the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away
from the source of interference.
• This unit may interfere with radio and television
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications

surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet
may discolor or mar the surface.
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the
rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you
do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or
move accidentally.
• Do not place containers or anything else containing
liquid on top of this unit. Also, whenever any liquid
has been spilled on the surface of this unit, be sure
to promptly wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft,
dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened
with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly
with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the
unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when
using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can
lead to malfunctions.
• When disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s
internal elements.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels.
• When you need to transport the unit, pack it in
shock-absorbent material. Transporting the unit
without doing so can cause it to become scratched
or damaged, and could lead to malfunction.

About the Power Supply
Battery Operation
The CUBE Street EX can be powered with eight AA batteries (sold
separately). We recommend that you keep batteries installed in the
unit even though you’ll be powering it with the AC adaptor. That way,
you’ll be able to continue a performance even if the cord of the AC
adaptor gets accidently disconnected from the unit.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and uid leakage.
Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items related to batteries
that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” (p. 2) and “IMPORTANT NOTES”
(p. 3).
* When operating on battery power only, the unit’s indicator will become
blink when battery power gets too low. Replace the battery as soon as
possible.
Choosing Batteries
This unit can be used with alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries. The operating time will depend on the characteristics of
the batteries. Refer to the following table and choose the type of
batteries that you want to use.

• Relocating microphone(s) at a greater
distance from speakers.
• Lowering volume levels.

This is a spacially synthesized chorus.
With spacially synthesized chorus, a method available only in stereo, the chorus eect
is created by taking the sound from the right speaker (from which the eect sound is

then mixing them in the actual space. This creates a greater lateral spread than that
