Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and check to make sure that you remove the supplied AC power adapter. IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you install the headgear, be sure to double check that the MIC and STEREO level controls are turned to the all the way down (fully counter clockwise position). We recommend that you exercise extreme caution and care for your ears. Always start with the level controls all the way off and slowly raise the signal to a comfortable listening level. · · Connect the output from the device you want monitored to the STEREO INPUT jacks on the S amp front panel. Set the controls to the following positions: · · · · Turn the four headphone channel LEVEL knobs to their minimum (fully counterclockwise) setting. Apply a signal, like the output of a mixer playing a CD, to the S amp's STEREO INPUT jack. Connect a set of headphones to Channel 1 and slowly turn the channel's LEVEL knob clockwise until you hear the desired level. 5 Operating the S amp Repeat the previous step for all Channels that have headphones connected, making sure to start the LEVEL knob completely counterclockwise and then slowly raising it until the desired level is achieved. If you have connected different models of headphones to the various Channel Headphone jacks, you may find that some require more gain than others to achieve the same volume. This kind of disparity will occur if the various headphones have different impedances. [. . . ] For more information about any of these headphones, contact the manufacturer directly.
