The power module normally generates a small amount of heat during
operation. It is important that adequate ventilation is provided when
planning the mounting location.

The external power module does not provide an AC power switch. It is
recommended the power module be plugged into an AC power strip that
uses a power switch.

The PS-4 power module has an internal “one shot” thermal fuse. Fuse
replacement is not possible with this module.

If it has been determined that the power module has failed, contact
Speck Electronics for a factory replacement at +760-723-4281.

Any device that emits a high EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) or
RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) energy field should be treated with
suspicion. EMI is considered any unwanted signal which adversely
affects the operation of the Model ASC or the audio system. This
subject is discussed in Chapter 4.

Electronic equipment such as power amplifiers, power supplies
(including the PS-4 wall mount type), video monitors, computers,
certain synths and samplers must be located away from the Model ASC
and its associated audio cables. It may be necessary to alter the
positions of certain equipment that you feel would cause buzzes or hums
in the audio system.

Before any attempt is made to operate the Model ASC, it would be a
good idea to set all the controls to their neutral positions. This gives you
a reference point to work from when adjusting controls and switches.
All “Frequency Sweep” controls should be set to their full counter-
clockwise setting. All “Boost/Cut” controls should be set to their “0”
center detented position. The “bypass”switch should be set to the "In"
position, the “Low/Mid” and “Peak/Shelf” switches set out, and the
“Gain” control set to its “0” center detent position.

When any future reference is made to the controls or switches of the
ASC, is will be assumed that they have been set to their neutral
positions.
