unit’s operating voltage it must be per-
formed only at the factory or by an autho-
rized service technician.
The Model 55 uses an IEC standard con-
nector to mate with the AC mains cord.
The wire colors in the AC mains cord
should conform to the internationally
recognized CEE color code and must
be wired accordingly:
Connection Wire Color
Neutral (N) Light Blue
Line (L) Brown
Protective Earth (E) Green/Yellow
Safety Warning: The Model 55 does not
contain an AC mains disconnect switch.
As such the mains cord plug serves as
the disconnection device. Safety consid-
eration requires that the plug and associ-
ated outlet be easily accessible to allow
rapid disconnection of mains power
should it prove necessary.
As soon as mains power is applied, the
Model 55’s power present LED will light.
The Model 56 will go through its power-up
sequence lighting each LED in a rapid
sequence. The power present LEDs on the
talent amplifiers will also light.
The Over Current LED located on the front
panel of the Model 55 should not be lit.
If it is flashing, immediately refer to the
Troubleshooting section of this guide.
If everything appears to be functioning
properly you are now ready to configure the
system.
Model 35 Stand Mounting
Included with each Model 35 Talent Ampli-
fier is a nifty mounting adapter that allows
the unit to be conveniently attached to a
microphone stand. Please refer to the
Installation Guide provided in the Model
35’s shipping carton for details.
Model 38 and Model 56 Mounting
Options
The Model 38 Talent Amplifier and the
Model 56 Control Console include provi-
sions for mounting to microphone stands,
equipment consoles, etc. To avoid “rein-
venting the wheel,” our products are com-
patible with the 25 Series components
from OmniMount Systems, Tempe,
Arizona U.S.A. (602) 829-8000, a supplier
of finely engineered mounting systems.
This firm makes many versions of the 25
Series; one of which should fit your needs.
If you desire microphone stand mounting
the following components would be appro-
priate: 25RST-25H Straight Tube Reverse
Mount with Quick Release, along with a
25MA Microphone Stand Adapter. (If quick
adjustment is not required the 25RST
Straight Tube Reverse Mount can be used
in place of the first item.) When connecting
to metric-thread stands please contact
OmniMount for the correct part numbers.
The bottom surface of the Model 38 Talent
Amplifier contains two threaded inserts
that will accept English-standard ¼-20
screws. Using two,
5 /
8
-inch long, round-
head machine screws, the 25 Series
clamp assembly can be directly attached.
The cover of the Model 38 does not have
to be removed.
The design of the Model 56 did not allow
the inclusion of threaded inserts, so holes
of adequate size to allow
¼-20 round head
machine screws are provided. It is in-
tended that screws of
5 /
8
-inch length, along
with lock washers and machine nuts, will
securely attach a 25 Series mounting
