Astronaut Safety Instructions
1. Please read all instructions carefully and
keep a copy of this guide in a safe place.
2. Please download a copy of this guide for
your records. All literature can be found
on our website.
3. Please protect this equipment from
high humidity.

equipment while installing overhead.
5. Obey all cautions and warnings on
equipment.
6. If equipment is not to be used for long
periods of time, e.g., one month or
longer, disconnect the power cord. The
Astronaut has over-voltage and diode

to err on the side of caution.

in the equipment.
8. Never allow liquids or moisture to pour
or build inside the equipment.
9. Do not use equipment if it has obvious
signs of damage from shipping or
dropping.

temperatures exceed 120 °F (48 °C).

according to the Ceiling Mounting
Instructions in this guide. No other form
of mounting the Astronaut is approved
and may cause a loss of warranty.

Installer Notes
Stereo sources: Maximum input voltage should not exceed 300 mv per input channel (A, B, or C).
Do not use any multi-channel sources like 3-channel, Dolby Digital 5-channel, THX, or Q-Sound.
Mono sources: Maximum input voltage should not exceed 150 mv per input channel (A, B, or C).
Use microphones that offer mono or stereo line output instead of microphone level output.
Cetacea Sound microphones are compatible with the Astronaut. Use of other brands may result in
unpredictable results and is not advised.
Line Level Input Sources: Although pre-amps, projector outputs, and music mixers are popular, it
is possible to "overdrive" the Astronaut with these devices, leading to premature failure and a loss
of warranty coverage. Furthermore, equalizers, bass boost, Surround Sound, Q-Sound, Spatializer,
and other compression techniques are not necessary and will add nothing to the sound quality of
the Astronaut. If overused, they can also "overdrive" the Astronaut, leading to premature failure
and a loss of warranty coverage.
Assembly Tools
Recommended tools to mount the Astronaut to a suspended ceiling tile:
Phillips head screwdriver
