3. Fast First Time Setup
Follow this sequence to get the 528 up and running quickly - the connections and
settings are intended to get si1?11al into and out of the 528, and to create obvious
activity in each processor section. The drawings at the end of this section illustrate
the setup. FOR QUICK SETUP, DO NOT DEPRESS ANY OF THE BYPASS SWITCHES.
CAUTION
Wbea the 528 is used as an input device in any system that includes
power amplifiers and loudspeakers, do not plUR into either the mic or
line inputs while the system's power amplifiers are "on." The 528 can
contribute substaatial Raia to input siQnals, and very IarRe low
frequency transients may be produced at the 528's output when input
conaections are made while the unit is "on." These transient siRnals
wiIJ not damaRe tbe 528, but when amplified, may damaRe loudspeakers.
