Installation and Safety Precautions
Installing the Mixer
C
orrect connection and positioning of your mixer is important for successful and trouble-
free operation. The following sections are intended to give guidance with cabling, connec-
tions and configuration of your mixer.
o Choose the mains supply for the sound system with care, and do not share sockets or
earthing with lighting dimmers.
o Position the mixer where the sound can be heard clearly, preferably in the centre, and with-
in the audience.
o Run audio cables separately from lighting circuits, using balanced lines wherever possible. If
necessary, cross audio and lighting cables at right angles to minimise the possibility of inter-
ference. Keep unbalanced cabling as short as possible.
o Do not mix phases on a 3-phase supply without consulting an electrician.
o Check your cables regularly and label each end for easy identification.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
For your own safety, and to avoid invalidation of the warranty,
please read this section carefully.
The LIVE 32 mixer must only be connected through the Power
Supply supplied.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Earth: Green and Yellow (Green/Yellow - US)
Neutral: Blue (White - US)
Live: Brown (Black - US)
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter N.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter L.
Ensure that these colour codings are followed carefully in the event of the plug being changed.
To avoid the risk of fire, replace the mains fuse only with the
correct value fuse, as indicated on the power supply.
