This chapter explains how to connect external equipment and the power cord, as well as how to make other preparations before turning on the power. See “5–Using with a Computer (M-164UF)” for an explanation of how to connect an M-164UF mixer with a computer.

Connecting the power

Confirm that the mixer power switch is set to STANDBY beforehand.

Connect the included power cord and AC adaptor (TASCAM PS-1225L) to the mixer.

Examples of connecting external equipment

Two connection examples follow.

For details about making connections, see “Making stereo output connections” and “Making input sound source connections.”

Precautions before making connections

Turn the power OFF on all the equipment to be con-

•

nected and set the mixer to standby.

Plug in all pieces of equipment into the same outlet or

•

power strip so that they will receive power from the same line. To minimize power voltage fluctuation when using an extension cord, for example, use a heavy cable with high electrical current capacity.

The cord holder is an opening on the bottom of the mixer for securing the AC adaptor cord. When connecting the cord, pass it through the cord holder to prevent it from accidentally becoming disconnected during use.

Always use the included AC adaptor (TASCAM PS-• 1225L). Use of a different AC adaptor could cause malfunction, generation of heat, ﬁre or other trouble.

Do not force the cord into the holder. Doing so could • break the line.
