Power Connector

Push the locking multi-pin connector (flat side up) of the power supply into the power connector of the 

control surface. Push the line cord securely into the power supply and plug the other end into a grounded 

AC outlet. These are included in the packaging.

Make sure that the AC power is matched to the AC power indicated on the rear panel  

(below the power connector).

Warning: Disconnecting the plug’s ground pin is dangerous. Don’t do it! 

In fact, it’s a bad idea to removeanythingfrom – or add anything to, for that matter – the line 

cord. Again, don’t do it!

Power Switch

Press the top of this rocker switch in to turn the DC16 on and press the bottom  

of this switch to turn it off.

As a general guide, the Wi-Fi router should be turned on first,  

then the DL32R followed by the DC16 and external power amplifiers 

or powered speakers. As such, the DC16 and DL32R should also  

be turned off last.  This will reduce the possibility of any turn-on  

or turn-off thumps in the PA.

Technically the DC16 will still be able to discover the DL32R  

even if the DC16 is powered on first, but you might be required  

to refresh the mixer list the DC16 received.

Lamp Input Jack

The 4-pin XLR connector located next to the power switch allows connection  

of a 12V gooseneck lamp. Simply line up the pins and holes and push until  

it locks – ‘clicks’ – in place.

There is sufficient current provided to allow using high-intensity  

[5 watt, 420 mA] halogen lamps.
