OWER UPPLY The internal power supply for the GL2200 is a switch mode supply and will operate from a wide range of mains input voltages. It produces the DC voltages required by the console. Before switching on your console, check that the ac mains fuse is of the correct type and rating. This is clearly marked on the rear panel of the console. -

Page 8: Plugging Up The Cables
PLUGGING UP THE CABLES The GL2200 uses professional grade 3-pin XLR, 1/4" TRS jack and RCA PHONO sockets. Where possible use balanced connections to prevent noise and interference pickup especially on long cable runs. Avoid running audio cables next to AC mains, computer or lighting cables, near thyristor dimmer units or power supplies etc. -

‘yellow’. Reduce the gain if the peak indicators flash (red). The GL2200 provides +4dBu output level at the XLR outputs for a meter reading of 0VU. It is advisable to adjust the power amplifier input gain or fit an attenuator pad if normal console operation results in an output level too high for the connected amplifier. -
