Getting Started; Basic Setup - Phonic iA231F Manual Del Usuario

GETTING STARTED

The following are a few helpful hints Phonic would
like you to keep in mind while using or preparing
to use your iA equalizer. You can follow at your
own discretion, however it should be noted that
heeding these notices can help to ensure a greater
quality of sound, protect you against damaging your
equalizer, and help to ensure you just have an all
round pleasant experience with the product.
1. Check the AC voltage before connecting the plug.
This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding
type plug; this is a safety feature and should not be
defeated. Proper grounding must be practiced to
prevent electrical shock to the operator. Choose the
main supply for the sound system with care, and do
not share sockets or earthing with light dimmers.
2. Run audio cables separately from dimmer wiring,
using balanced lines wherever possible. If necessary,
cross audio and lighting cables at right angles as
to minimize the possibility of interference. Keep
unbalanced cabling as short as possible.
3. Check your cables regularly and label each end for
easy identification.
4. Before switching on the main power, keep all the 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.
5. Always turn the iA equalizer before the power amplifier,
and be sure to turn the equalizer off after turning off
the amplifier.
6. Always turn off the power before connecting or
disconnecting the unit.
7. Never use solvents to clean the unit. Clean with a soft,
dry cloth.

BASIC SETUP

Connecting your iA EQ to your audio system could
not really be easier, though there are a few ways
you can go about it. The following is the preferred
order of set up, though you may detour slightly from
this, if need be.
1. Feed the output of your mixer into the XLR or 1/4"
analog inputs. If using the iA231FD, you may prefer to
use a digital signal, in which case you should connect
your S/PDIF output to the iA's RCA S/PDIF input,
or XLR AES input and adjust the input select switch
accordingly.
2. Connect either active speakers or the input of an
amplifier to the XLR or 1/4" analog outputs of the iA
equalizer. Once again, if you are using the iA231FD,
you may also like to use the S/PDIF output to feed to
a digital recorder or other product that accepts digital
signals.
3. If you would like to use one of the Sub outputs of the
iA equalizer, you're more than welcome to. Simply
plug the active subwoofer's input or amplifier's input
to the XLR sub output jacks. Adjust the included Sub
Frequency control to a level of your liking.
4. Plug the provided AC power cable into the power
connector of the iA equalizer and appropriate AC
power source.
5. Turn on your mixer and equalizer, followed by the rest
of your equipment, and do what you do.
