ATTENTION!
The following special limitations apply to the console and must be observed in order to maintain safety and electromagnetic compatibility performance:
POWER CONNECTION
The console should only be operated with the power supply connected to ground via its mains supply connector.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
The console should only be operated with high quality screened twisted pair audio cables. A ll connector shells should be of metal construction so that they provide a screen when they are plugged into the console. All JACK connector shells should be connected to the cable screen. All XLR connectors should have pin 1 connected to the cable screen.
ELECTRIC FIELDS
If the console is operated in an electromagnetic field that is amplitude modulated by an audio frequency signal, the signal to noise ratio may be degraded. Degradation of up to 60dB may be experienced under extreme conditions (3V/m, 90% m odulation).
INSTALLATION
There are a number of points to consider when installing a mixing console. Many of these points will have been addressed before the console is even unpacked but it is worth repeating them.
POSITION
The console should be located in a convenient space commensurate with the use to which the console is being put. Ideally a cool area is preferred not in close proxim ity to power distribution equipment or other potential sources of interference. Provision should be made for some flat surface surrounding the console to prevent people using it as a table top.
INTERNAL POWER SUPPLY T he console is equipped with an internal power supply. It must be set for the appropriate line voltage and pluged
in to the mains outlet using the supplied cable.
MAINS VOLTAGE SETTING
The console is shipped with a specified mains voltage setting (see rear panel marking). If the mains voltage is ever changed by the mains voltage selector at the bottom of the console, the mains fuse has to be changed as well to the rating matching the selected voltage on the label.
ADDITIONAL EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY FOR VENICE 240/320
The power supply should be located as far from the console as the connecting cable will allow. It should be set for the appropriate line voltage and plugged into the mains outlet using the supplied cable. The external power-supply overrides the internal supply after power on. The internal supply acts in this case as spare supply.
THE CONSOLE AND THE EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED WITH THE MAINS EARTH DISCONNECTED
Please note that the power supply contains LETHALVOLTAGES and that its rails can produce extremely large currents which could burn out equipment and wiring if shorted. All testing and servicin g should ONLY be carried out by qualified engineers.

Modification for Venice 160 Rack Mounting
The Venice 160 comes with additonal rack mounting brackets. For modification you need a Torx screwdriver type T20 (fig.1) and Phillips screwdrivers type Ph1 (fig. 2) and type Ph2 (fig.3). To modify the Venice 160 for rack mounting follow these steps: 1. Disconnect the unit from mains by all means. Remove all cables (mains, audio, lamp, etc.). 2. Loosen the 16 screws shown in fig. 4 with the Torx screwdriver and remove the two plastic side covers and the armrest. Keep the side covers, the armrest and the screws for later use. Attention: If you wish to rotate the connection panel in addition to the rack bracket mounting (fig. 6), perform steps 3 8. If not, proceed directly to step 9. 3. Turn the unit upside down and place it carefully on a smooth support. 4. Loosen the 8 screws fastening the cover sheet and the connection panel on the sides of the unit (fig. 5) with the Phillips screwdriver type Ph1. 5. Then dismount the connection panel with the 6 screws (fig. 5). Be careful not to unplug the cable connectors by mistake. Then remove the cover sheet via 3 further screws. 6. The cover sheet must be mounted with the angular side up, like shown in fig. 6. The connection panel is now mounted in such a way that the mains socket is left upwards on the unit (fig. 6). 7. The cover sheet and the connection panel are fastened additionally with 8 screws on the sides of the unit. 8. Turn the unit and place it with the control panel upside. 9. Finally the rack brackets are fastened with the screws contained in the mounting set (fig. 7) by using the Phillips screwdriver type Ph2. Warning: Use only screws which were loosened during modification or such ones, which are contained in the mounting set.
