signal processing

The Acoustic One, like any piece of computer hardware, is sensitive to

voltage drops, spikes and surges. Interference such as lightning or

power "brownouts" can seriously, and in extreme cases, permanently

damage the circuitry inside the unit. Here are a few tips that will help

you get the best possible performance out of your Acoustic One, while

avoiding damage:

• Always make sure you have a "clean" power source for connect-

ing to the Acoustic One. This means that the AC power line you

connect to the Acoustic One should be as free from voltage fluc-

tuations and RF interference as possible. In recording environ-

ments, "clean" power is also important in preventing AC hum or

buzz from getting to tape.

• Use a good quality spike/surge suppressor (also called a power

strip). This is an inexpensive solution to all but the most severe

AC line conditions. A good quality power strip can save you a lot

of money in repair bills because they prevent large spikes and

surges from reaching your equipment. Also in this category (but

more expensive), are rackmount power supplies. Some of these

(like the DOD 828) have retractable light tubes and RF filtering.

• Although more expensive, AC line conditioners offer the best

protection from improper line voltages. Line conditioners con-

stantly monitor the AC line for excessively high or low voltages

and instantaneously compensate to deliver a consistent voltage

to the connected equipment.

• Always make sure that your audio lines are as far as possible

from power cables. This will further prevent noise, hum, and

stray magnetic fields from entering your signal path. If audio

and power lines must run close to each other, try to avoid run-

ning them parallel to one another.
