IEC - AC Power cord receptacle
Plug the AC power cord (supplied) into the 266XL. Plug the other end into a standard
wall receptacle. Take care to route power cables away from audio lines. Note that the
266XL does not have a power switch. It is recommended that the 266XL be "On" at
all times. Power consumption is low. If you do not plan to use the 266XL for an
extended period of time, unplug it.
WARNING: Be sure to verify your actual line voltage is the same as the voltage level printed
below the AC power receptacle. Connection to an inappropriate power source may result in
extensive damage which is not covered by the warranty.
Caution: Never remove the cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

The 266XL can be used with any line-level device. Some common examples include
mixing consoles, electronic musical instruments, patch bays, and signal processors.
For all connections, refer to the following steps:
Turn Off all equipment before making any connections.
Mount the 266XL in a 1U rack space (optional).
The 266XL requires one rack space (height) and 1 rack space (width). It can be
mounted above or below anything that doesn't generate excessive heat, since it
requires no special ventilation. Ambient temperatures should not exceed 113ºF (45ºC)
when equipment is powered.
Make connections via 1/4" phone or XLR jacks according to your requirements.
Typical patch points include: a mixer's channel or subgroup inserts when using the
266XL on individual instruments or tracks; the mixer's main outputs when mixing; an
instrument preamp's effects loop when using the 266XL for guitar or bass; main outs
of a submixer (i.e., keyboard mixer) as the signal is sent to main mixer; between a
DAT's output and an analog cassette input. When using a chain of processors, the
266XL may be placed either before or after effects or dynamics processors. We rec-
ommend you use common sense and experiment with different setups to see which
one provides the best results for your needs.
Connect the AC power cord (shipped with the unit) to the 266XL's rear panel
POWER connector and an appropriate AC power source to turn the unit ON.
