4 Powering Up

Caution: You must release the locking device that
secures SOUNDCADDY ONE for transport before
you power up for the first time!
Make sure SOUNDCADDY ONE is off before you
connect it to a mains power supply.
• Turn the Volume knob all the way down to the far
left position.
• Ensure all other connected components are up
and running before you connect a line signal. First
switch on all connected devices – an outboard
mixing console, keyboards, instrument amps,
effects, or other signal source.
Heads up: Always switch SOUNDCADDY ONE on
last - that is, after powering up all other components
- and switch it off first before powering down all
other connected devices.
• Turn the Volume knob slowly towards the right until
you dial in the desired volume level. If you connect
a CD player, keyboard, or the like directly, you can
turn the Volume knob all the way to the right to
achieve maximum volume, depending on the input
signal's level.
