2. સલામતી માહિતી

To prevent electric shock, fire, or damage to the unit, please observe the following precautions:

• પાવર સપ્લાય: ફક્ત ઉલ્લેખિત પાવર એડેપ્ટરનો ઉપયોગ કરો. ખાતરી કરો કે વોલ્યુમtage તમારા પ્રદેશની જરૂરિયાતો સાથે મેળ ખાય છે.
• ભેજ: Do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, or excessive humidity. Do not place containers with liquids on the unit.
• વેન્ટિલેશન: યુનિટની આસપાસ પૂરતું વેન્ટિલેશન સુનિશ્ચિત કરો. વેન્ટિલેશનના છિદ્રોને અવરોધશો નહીં.
• ઉષ્મા: રેડિએટર્સ, હીટ રજિસ્ટર, સ્ટોવ અથવા ગરમી ઉત્પન્ન કરતા અન્ય ઉપકરણો જેવા ગરમીના સ્ત્રોતોથી યુનિટને દૂર રાખો.
• સફાઈ: સફાઈ કરતા પહેલા પાવર ડિસ્કનેક્ટ કરો. સૂકા, નરમ કપડાનો ઉપયોગ કરો. પ્રવાહી ક્લીનર્સ અથવા એરોસોલ ક્લીનર્સનો ઉપયોગ કરશો નહીં.
• સર્વિસિંગ: યુનિટની જાતે સર્વિસ કરવાનો પ્રયાસ કરશો નહીં. બધી સર્વિસિંગ લાયકાત ધરાવતા સેવા કર્મચારીઓને સોંપો.

5. સેટઅપ

5.1 અનપેકિંગ અને પ્લેસમેન્ટ

Carefully remove the OB-6 from its packaging. Place the synthesizer on a stable, flat surface, ensuring sufficient space for ventilation around the unit.

5.2 પાવર કનેક્શન

1. Ensure the OB-6 power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the provided power supply to the power input on the rear panel of the OB-6.
3. Plug the power supply into a suitable AC outlet.

5.3 ઓડિયો કનેક્શન્સ

Connect the main audio outputs (Right/Mono, Left) on the rear panel to your mixer, audio interface, or amplifier using standard 1/4-inch TS cables. For stereo operation, connect both Left and Right outputs. For mono, use the Left/Mono output.

૨.૩ MIDI અને USB કનેક્શન્સ

The OB-6 supports both traditional MIDI (DIN connectors) and USB MIDI for communication with computers or other MIDI devices.

• MIDI: Connect MIDI OUT of your controller/interface to MIDI IN of the OB-6. Connect MIDI OUT of the OB-6 to MIDI IN of your other devices or interface.
• યુએસબી: Connect a USB Type A cable from the OB-6's USB port to a USB port on your computer. The OB-6 will appear as a MIDI device in your operating system and DAW.
