User manual FOSTEX MN04

[. . . ] Channel 1, in particular, has, in addition to the regular mic level position, an ALC (Automatic Level Control) circuit position which minimizes distortion against input overload when using a microphone. The MN04 can be conveniently used in any location as it employs a two power supply system (AC adaptor [Included]/S-006P battery [Option]). Please read through this manual before operation. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT. ATTENTION: CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. POUR EVITER LES CHOCS ELECTRIQUES, INTRODUIRE LA LAME LA PLUS LARGE DE LA FICHE DANS LA BORNE CORRESPONDANTE DE LA PRISE ET POUSSER JUSQU' AU FOND. [. . . ] Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or C. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or E. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position dose not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings. IMPORTANT NOTES IN OPERATION 1. Avoid using headphones for long hours at high volume levels. Doing so can result in hearing failure. Switch off power to the mixer when interconnecting it to external equipment. Always be sure to switch off the MN04 power when interconnecting external equipment to the MN04. 2. Turn down all sound volume controls when switching on power to this mixer. Also, turn all volume controls when switching on/off power to the MN04. Otherwise, a sudden loud noise could have a bad affect on you ears and your hearing. 5. Properly dispose of exhausted battery removed from the mixer. Do not throw old battery removed from MN04 into a fire. Use an AC adaptor specified by Fostex. Be sure to use the AC adaptor specified by Fostex. The power cord connector polarity could be wrong depending on the manufacturer. The schematic is indicates that the outer sheath is minus polarity and the inner pole plus 3. Turn down the sound volume control when plugging or unplugging the headphone into the PHONES jack. Always turn down the sound volume control when connecting or removing the headphone plug from the PHONES jack. Doing so with the volume control turned up, could result in hurting your ears. DC IN 9V polarity, and the power supply is DC 9V. NAMES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE CONTROLS Battery compartment The commonly sold battery is installed here (Refer to next page). [. . . ] If not, it could result in leaking electrolyte from the battery which can ruin your new mixer. DC IN jack AC adaptor <NOTE> Unplug the AC adaptor from the wall outlet if the MN04 is not to be used for long hours or extensive periods of time. Plug Battery INTERCONNECTING EXAMPLE WITH EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT As shown in example below, by interconnecting MN04 as a sub mixer with a multitracker having few input ports, a multitude of sound sources can then be mixed and recorded by the multitracker.
