Check the AC voltage before connecting
the plug. Choose the main supply for the
sound system with care. Do not share
sockets or earthing with light dimmers.
Run audio cables separately from dimmer
wiring, using balanced lines wherever
possible. If necessary, cross audio and
lighting cables at 90o right angles to minimize the possibility of interference. Keep
unbalanced cabling as short as possible.
Check your cables regularly and label each
end for easy identification.
Before switching on the main power, keep
all output rotary faders all the way down to
prevent damage or excessive noise
caused by bad level adjustment, wrong
wiring, defective cables,or bad
connections.
Always turn on the TFX256 PRO before
the power amplifier; turn off the TFX256
PRO after turning off the amplifier.
Always turn off the unit before connecting
or disconnecting the unit to the power
source.
Never use any solvents to clean the unit.
