551: 500 Series Inductor EQ
Thank you for your purchase of the 551 Inductor EQ. Everyone at Rupert Neve
Designs hopes you enjoy using this tool as much as we have enjoyed designing
and building it. Please take note of the following list of safety concerns and power
requirements before the use of this product.
Safety
It’s usual to provide a list of “do’s and don’ts” under this heading but mostly these
amount to common sense issues. However here are some reminders:
Don’t operate your 551 module in or around water! Electronic equipment and
liquids are not good friends. If any liquid is spilled such as soda, coffee, alcoholic
or other drink, the sugars and acids will have a very detrimental effect. Sugar
crystals act like little rectiers and can produce noise (crackles, etc.). SWITCH OFF
POWER IMMEDIATELY because once current starts to ow, the mixture hardens,
can get very hot (burnt toffee!) and cause permanent and costly damage. Please
contact support as soon as possible at support@rupertneve.com for resolution.
