POWER CONNECTION
Just in case you lose the cord provided with
the MS1402-VLZ, its power jack accepts a stan-
dard 3-prong IEC cord like those found on
most professional recorders, musical instru-
ments, and computers.
At the other end of our cord is — get this
— a plug! Not a black cube or, as we’re fond of
calling them, a “wall wart.” We did this for
some very good reasons:
The MS1402-VLZ has sophisticated power
requirements that a wall wart cannot provide.
Wall warts are inconvenient, fragile, radiate
huge hum fields, hog extra jacks on your
power strip and get in the way. If you lose a
wall wart, you’re in trouble, but if you lose the
MS1402-VLZ’s power cord, you can get a new
one at any electronics, music, or computer
store. You can even buy them at Radio Shack
®
(part # 287-1257). Can you tell that we hate
wall warts?
Plug the MS1402-VLZ into any standard
grounded AC outlet or into a power strip of
proper voltage.
WARNING: Disconnect-
ing the plug’s ground
pin can be dangerous.
Please don’t do it.
FUSE
The MS1402-VLZ is fused for your (and its
own) protection. If you suspect a blown fuse,
disconnect the cord, pull the fuse drawer out
(located just below the cord receptacle) and
replace the fuse with a 500mA (0.5 amps) SLO
BLO, 5x20mm, available at electronics stores
or your dealer (or a 250mA SLO BLO 5x20mm
if your MS1402-VLZ is a 220V–240V unit).
If two fuses blow in a row, something is
very wrong. Please call our toll-free number
(or the distributor in your country) and find
out what to do.
POWER SWITCH
If this one isn’t self-explanatory, we give up.
You can leave this switch on all the time; the
MS1402-VLZ is conservatively designed, so heat
buildup isn’t a problem even in 24-hour-a-day
operation. There’s nothing that will burn out or
get used up. Or, just plug everything into a good
quality power strip for one-button turn-on.
You may notice that
the MS1402-VLZ feels
quite warm in the upper-
right corner. This is
perfectly normal.
(Perfectly normal. Is that redundant?)
In the output section there is a
PWR
LED.
If the power is on, so is the LED.
PHANTOM SWITCH
The Phantom Power Switch controls the
phantom power supply for condenser micro-
phones plugged into channels 1-6 mic inputs
as discussed at the start of this section .
When turned on (or off), the phantom power
circuitry takes a few moments for voltage to
ramp up (or down). This is also perfectly nor-
mal. For an even closer look, refer to
Appendix C
.
In the output section, next to the
PWR
LED, is the
PHAN
LED. If the phantom power
is on, so is the LED.
