3. INSTALLATION

3.1. Placement and mounting

The PRO20 thing to take into consideration when placing your SMAC is your comfort and
an easy access to all the connections.
The SMAC PRO20 is basically conceived as a tabletop mixer and its usual placement will
be between two vinyl or CD players.
The optional metallic LSMAC side profiles kit allows you to firmly fix your SMAC PRO20 to
the surface over which it is placed or over its own profiles (Fig.1).
These profiles also allow to tilt the mixer's position for an easier operation.
Anyway, remember that the SMAC PRO20 has connections in the front of the box, so if
you place it into a hole you will not be able to access these connections.
Because of the high gain of the PHONO and MICROPHONE inputs, always try to place
the mixer as far away as possible from noise sources (dimmers, engines, etc...) and mains wires. For
the very same reason, and under any circumstance, should you ever remove the unit's metallic
cover.
The power consumption of the SMAC PRO20 is very low, so they don't need any cooling,
but you should avoid extreme temperatures and the atmosphere should be as dry and dust-free as
possible.
The SMAC PRO20 operates under voltages between 90 and 264 V at 47 to 63 Hz. This
device features an over dimensioned power supply that adapts to the mains voltage in any country of
the world with no need to make any adjustments. Make sure that the mains wire (which plugs into
28) is far away from the signal cables in order to avoid any possible audio hum.
In order to protect the unit from an eventual electrical overload it carries a 500mA fuse
(28). Should it ever blow up, unplug the unit from mains and replace it with an identical one. If the
new fuse blows again contact immediately with our Authorised Technical Service. YOU MUST
NEVER USE A HIGHER VALUE FUSE.
CAUTION: Fuse substitutions have to be performed by a qualified technician.

3.2. Input signal sources

-Turntables: They must be fitted with magnetic cartridges of 1'77 to 56mV nominal output
level. The PHONO inputs (27) of the SMAC PRO20 have a very good headroom so they can accept
high output level cartridges. If you use moving coil cartridges they must be of high output level type
and a transformer or external preamplifier, placed as near as possible to the turntable, must be
connected between the cartridge and the mixer.
