TASCAM SX-1
Quick Start Guide
Chapter 2 – Getting Started
The first thing to consider after unpacking the SX-1
(and verifying the contents of the box) is where to
put it. Since the SX-1 weighs in at nearly 100
lbs
(over 45 kg), it is very important to place the unit on
a sturdy, flat surface able to support its weight, plus
the weight of any additional equipment.
Many of the SX-1’s most often reached analog con-
nections are conveniently located on top of the con-
sole, but there are also several crucial connections on
the unit's rear (MIDI, VGA output, mouse, PS/2 key-
board, expansion ports, and digital I/O). When posi-
tioning your SX-1 you should make sure there is
ample space to reach the rear panel connections. The
SX-1's rear panel also requires a minimum of 3
inches (about 75mm) clearance for proper ventila-
tion—make sure not to push the back of the unit
flush against a wall or other surface.
CAUTION
To avoid overheating and the risk of fire, do not install
or operate the SX-1 in a confined space (such as a
bookcase).
The speakers should be placed at eye level and equi-
distant from each other and the listener.
