Mains module
This module combines the line cord connector, the on/off switch, the fuse holder with in-
tegrated 230/115 VAC voltage selector and a line filter for providing the transformer with
clean current. Note: Some export version have a fixed voltage of e.g. 100 or 115 VAC and
cannot operate at 230 VAC.
WARNING: High voltage
Make sure to disconnect the line cord before replacing eventually blown fuses or changing
the operating voltage of the unit!
In order to change the operating voltage, the fuse holder has to be taken out and re-in-
serted so that the desired voltage can be read correctly (and is not standing upside down).
The white triangular arrow that belongs to the chosen voltage setting points at the small
rectangular mark on the mains module.
WARNING: Fuses
Always make sure to use the correct fuses for the chosen voltage: 230 VAC 1.5 A Slo-Blo or
115 VAC 3.0 A Slo-Blo. Incorrect or missing fuses are dangerous safety hazards for both the
unit and yourself!

Note: If a device that is placed before the alpha compressor in the signal chain has an un-
balanced output stage, a complete muting can eventually occur when the compressor is
activated. If this happens, please follow the advice on page 34.
