SONIC ULTRAMIZER SU9920 User Manual
1.  Introduction
1.1  Before you get started
1.1.1  Shipment
Your product was carefully packed at the factory to ensure safe transport. 
Nevertheless, if the box is damaged inspect the unit immediately for signs 
of damage.
◊ 
If the unit is damaged please do NOT return it to us, but notify your 
dealer and the shipping company immediately; otherwise, claims for 
damage or replacement may not be granted.
◊ 
We recommend that you use a flight case to give the unit optimum 
protection during use or transport.
◊ 
Always use the original box to prevent damage during storage 
or transport.
◊ 
Make sure that children cannot play unsupervised with the unit or 
its packaging.
◊ 
Please ensure proper disposal of all packing materials.
1.1.2  Initial operation
Ensure adequate air supply and to avoid overheating do not place the unit near 
radiators etc.
◊ 
Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the correct rating! 
Please refer to the “SPECIFICATIONS” section for the applicable rating. 
For connection to the mains use the enclosed power cord with cold connector 
which complies with the relevant safety regulations.
◊ 
Please make sure that all devices are properly grounded. For your own 
safety, never remove or disable the ground conductors from the devices 
or on the power cords. The unit must always be connected to the mains 
outlet with a protective grounding connection.
◊ 
The tone quality may diminish within the range of powerful radio 
broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources. Increase the 
distance between the transmitter and the unit, and use shielded cables 
for all connections.

Fig. 2.1: Control elements on the front panel 
(1) 
CLIP: This LED is constantly lit when the input level is too high. If it lights 
up for a short period of time it is warning you of an impending overdrive. 
There is a safety headroom of 3 dBu before the signal becomes distorted. 
The LED should not light up.
(2) 
LEDs: The four LEDs display the output level in 10 dBu steps. 
Regular illumination of the 0 dBu LED indicates an optimal output level.
(3) 
PROCESS: With this control the portion of high-frequency signals to be 
processed by the SU9920 is specified. The MAX setting corresponds to a level 
boost of +12 dbU at 5 kHz.
(4) 
LOW CONTOUR: This control adjusts the portion of low-frequency signals to 
be processed by the SU9920. The MAX setting corresponds to a level boost of 
+12 dbU at 50 kHz.
(5) 
IN/OUT: With this switch signal processing is activated and deactivated. 
The LED lights up in the active operating mode.
(6) 
POWER: Use the POWER switch to put the unit into operation. The POWER 
switch should be in the “Off” position when you connect the unit to the 
power feed (mains).
To disconnect the unit from the mains, pull out the power plug. When switching 
on the unit ensure that the power plug is easily accessible. To mount the unit in a 
rack ensure that the unit can easily be disconnected from the mains by means of 
a plug or an all-pole mains switch on the back side.
◊ 
Please note: Switching the POWER switch off does not disconnect the 
unit completely from the mains. For this reason you should unplug the 
power cord if the unit is not going to be used for prolonged periods 
of time.
