3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 BATTERY POWER
The SONOSAX SX-M32 mixer can be internally powered by 6x dry cell batteries, or by rechargeable Nickel
Cadmium (NiCd) or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) AA-Cells ( LR6), or disposable Lithium batteries
NOTE:
The running time highly depends on the battery type (Alkaline, NiCd, NiMH or Lithium), the kind
and the number of microphone being used and if the 48V Phantom is turned On.
3.1.1 Opening the battery compartment
To open the battery compartment located on the rear of the unit, press on both locking pins on each side of the
compartment and slide out the battery holder. Insert 6x AA-Cells ( LR6 ) and check for correct polarity
WARNING:
Never leave discharged batteries in the compartment. To ensure an optimal running time, use only
premium quality rechargeable cells and check the expiry date.
3.1.2 Closing the battery compartment
Slide the battery holder into its compartment. Its shape is designed so it can not be reversed. Press firmly but
without excessive force on both side of the battery holder to securely lock the pins
3.2 EXTERNAL DC POWER SUPPLY
SX-M32 can be powered from any regulated external DC power source from 6 to18 Volts. The DC source must be
capable to sustain a continous power of minimum 5 Watts and to supply a peak current of at least 1 Amp under
12Volts ( 1,5Amp under 6 Volts ) for the inrush current at power up.
When powered from an external DC source, the first Led on the Left of the upper meter is lighting steady.
