Important 

 

The  electrical  specifications  of  your  home  country  must  meet  the 
electrical specifications printed onto the back panel. 

 

The EPX is a Class I unit and must be earthed. Please ensure a stable 
earth  connection.  The  Phase  ('hot'  pin)  is  marked  '

PHASE

'  on  the 

back panel for the mains input. 

 

Never pull the mains plug while the EPX is switched on! Before you 
pull  the  mains  cord  off  the  socket,  power  down  the  unit  to  stand-by 
mode. 

 

Only in cases of extended absence – like vacations – or if massive trouble 
on the mains power is to be expected you should switch off the EPX from 
the mains using the mains switch. To disconnect the unit completely from 
mains pull the mains plug. 

4.3  Connecting the mother unit 

For  the  connection  of  the  mother  unit  an  EPX-cord  with  5-pin  or  7-pin 
connector is needed. An overview can be found in the following table.

Important

 

 

Do  not  connect  mother  devices equipped  with  7-pin  connectors  (ex-
cept MAP, MAP V2, MAP I) to mains! This would compromise the 
quality of audio performance. In this case (see table above) only use 

one 

mains  cord  to  connect  the  EPX  to  mains,  and  no  mains  cord  is 

needed for the mother device.
