Connectors
Please pay attention to operate the mpressor with the correct voltage setting for your country and
the proper pin assignments on the XLR connectors.
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.
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-inserted so that the desired voltage can be read correctly (and is
not standing upside down). Note: Some export versions have a fixed voltage of e.g. 100 or
115 VAC and cannot operate at 230 VAC.
WARNING: Fuses
Always make sure to use the correct fuses for the chosen voltage: 230 VAC 0.8 A Slo-Blo or
115 VAC 1.6 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 mpressor in the signal chain has an unbalanced
output stage, a complete mute can eventually occur when the compressor is activated. If
this happens, please follow the advice on page 24.
