Page 4: General Instructions
Failure to comply with all instructions may result in serious alterations in regard of the functions and performance of the equipment. AEQ will not be responsible for any damage or loss due to the incorrect handling of the equipment. -
Page 5: Warranty
The AEQ BC-500 Broadcast Mixing Console does not need any pre-adjustments. Once carried out all programming described in this manual, by user or in factory, it is not necessary to carry out any additional adjustments for optimum performance. As an advice to the user, it should be mentioned that the input transformers of the different modules should be demagnetised periodically, since this factor will influence the total distortion of the equipment. -
Page 6: Power Supply
2.1.2. Voltage selection The AEQ BC-500 is prepared to operate with voltages of 110 or 220 V AC. Select the required voltage for your area with the voltage selector (figure 1). If you choose 110 V AC, you should replace the fuse (0.8 A SLOW) that is mounted in the fuse box of the mains connector (figure 2) with a 1.6 A SLOW fuse that can be found in the plastic bag that contains this manual. -
