Certification
Eligible to bear CE Marking. Conforms to European EMC Direc-
tive 89/336/EEC. Meets applicable tests and performance crite-
ria in European Standard EN55103 (1996) parts 1 and 2, for
residential (E1) and light industrial (E2) environments.
ON-OFF SWITCH MODIFICATION
As supplied, the SM10A does not include an on-off switch. Howev-
er, one can be easily constructed using a Switchcraft T3F 3-pin fe-
male professional audio connector, or equivalent, with an integral
switch. This connector can be attached to the cable connecting the
SM10A to the PA system. Refer to the wiring diagram in Figure 6.
NOTE: In order for the switch to be silent, phantom power must
not be active on this input channel.
