[. . . ] ULTRACOUSTIC ACX450/ACX900/ACX1800 Users Manual Version 1. 1 June 2006 ULTRACOUSTIC ACX450/ACX900/ACX1800 IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DETAILED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Read these instructions. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover (or the rear section). No user serviceable parts inside; refer servicing to qualified personnel. 5) Do not use this apparatus near water. [. . . ] Please be aware: When using your unit outside of Europe with 120 V, a fuse with a higher rating is required. 2. 2: Rear panel connectors Use the balanced LINE outputs (XLR connections) to connect your ULTRACOUSTIC to the inputs of a mixing desk (only in ACX1800 and ACX900). With the GND LIFT (ground lift) switch you can disconnect the ground connection between the amplifier and the mixing desk (switch pressed). This is done to eliminate buzz or ground loop hum. You also have the option to take up the audio signal from the instrument channel at the TUNER output and to feed it to the tuner. There is a continuous signal at this jack. Connect the supplied double foot switch to the FOOT SW(ITCH) jack. The foot switch enables you to switch the effects of both channels on and off (corresponds to the function of the IN/OUT switch ). The CD IN input (RCA) allows for the connection of an external stereo source. You can for example play your favourite tune while being accompanied with music from a CD, MD or a drum machine. 6 2.
