PART 1

SETUP & CONNECTIONS

AC POWER

HOOKUP

Your QS6.1 is set to work with the voltage of the country it was shipped to (either 110

or 220V, 50 or 60 Hz) and comes equipped with the appropriate power cable.

Hooking that cable up is simple.

· Make sure your QS6.1 is turned off.

· Plug the female (jack) end of the power cable into the QS6.1Õs power socket.

· Plug the male (plug) end into a source of AC power. ItÕs good practice not to turn

the QS6.1 on until all other cables are hooked up.

The IEC-spec power cable included with your QS6.1 is designed to connect to an outlet

with three holes, the third of which Ñ the round one Ñ is the ground connection. This

connection is an important safety feature: it keeps the QS6.1Õs chassis at ground

potential, preventing accidental shocks.

Unfortunately, not all three-hole sockets are properly grounded. We recommend that

you use an AC line tester to check the ground connection on any socket you may use, just to

be on the safe side. If you find an ungrounded outlet, consult with a licensed electrician

about getting the problem fixed.

Avoid using ungrounded outlets. Plugging the QS6.1 into an ungrounded outlet can

be hazardous. The same goes for ÒliftingÓ the unit off ground by using a three-to-

two plug adapter. DonÕt do it!

Alesis cannot be responsible for any problems that might be caused by using the

QS6.1 with improper AC wiring.

LINE CONDITIONERS AND PROTECTORS

The power coming through some AC lines contains voltage surges, spikes, or transients

that can stress your gear, causing failure or malfunctions. Although the QS6.1 is

designed to tolerate typical voltage variations, it isnÕt invulnerable. So if the power in

your area is particularly bad (or if you are out playing live gigs) you will probably

want to take precautions. You have three basic options:

¥ Line spike/surge protectors. These relatively inexpensive devices are designed

to protect against strong surges and spikes. They act somewhat like fuses and

will have to be either replaced or reset (depending on the unit) if theyÕve been

hit by an extremely strong spike.
