21. Plastic bags must be kept out of reach of children.
22. If the equipment has been exposed to strong fluctuations in temperature (for example, after transport), do
not switch it on immediately. Moisture and condensation could damage the equipment. Do not switch on the
equipment until it has reached room temperature.
23. Do not step on the power cord. Make certain that the power cable does not become kinked, especially at the
mains outlet and/or power adapter and the equipment connector.
24. When connecting the equipment, make certain that the power cord or power adapter is always freely acces-
sible. Always disconnect the equipment from the power supply if the equipment is not in use or if you want
to clean the equipment. Always unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet at the plug
or adapter and not by pulling on the cord. Never touch the power cord and power adapter with wet hands.
25. To disconnect the equipment from the power mains completely, unplug the power cord or power adapter
from the power outlet.
26. Unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet if there is a risk of a lightning strike or
before extended periods of disuse.
CAUTION:
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Have repairs carried out only by qualified service personnel.
CAUTION – HIGH VOLUME LEVELS WITH AUDIO PRODUCTS!
This equipment is intended for professional use. Therefore, commercial use of this equipment is subject to the
respectively applicable national accident prevention rules and regulations. As a manufacturer, Adam Hall is ob-
ligated to notify you formally about the existence of potential health risks. Hearing damage due to high volume
and prolonged exposure: When in use, this product is capable of producing high sound-pressure levels (SPL) that
can lead to irreversible hearing damage in performers, employees, and audience members. For this reason, avoid
prolonged exposure to volumes in excess of 90 dB.

APPLICATION
The PAN08 is universally useable as a DI box, booster and line isolator. The outputs are balanced using highquality
transformers. The output voltage is adjustable within broad limits from microphone level to professional studio
level. For this, on the one hand, there is a PAD switch with 20db (10-fold) attenuation. On the other hand, it is also
possible to boost the level in three 6-db increments by a total of 18 dB. The PAN08 has four identical channels.
It is powered by an external DC power supply that should have a voltage between 9 and 18V. Thus the PAN08
is also ideal for battery powered operation without mains power. A9V power adapter is included in the package.
CONNECTORS
The following description applies for each of the channels, A, B, C and D. There is a combination connector for the
input signal. It is configured as a balanced connection. XLR cables and stereo instrument cables can be connected
to the input if the input signal is balanced. If a mono jack plug is used, the input automatically becomes unbal-
anced. An unbalanced XLR plug (bridge in plug between PIN3 and PIN1) can also be used. Thus in general, both
ordinary microphone cables and instrument cables can be connected to the inputs of the PAN08 depending on the
source. To avoid ground loops due to double grounding, PIN 1 of the XLR input socket or the ground connection of
the jack plug can be disconnected from the electronic ground. To do this, press the switch labelled GND LIFT next
to the combination socket. There are dual outputs for each channel. There is one balanced XLR/m socket each on
the front and rear panels. Both sockets are connected in parallel. In principle, they can be used simultaneously,
provided that the connected devices do not interfere with one another. PIN1 of both sockets is connected to
the electronic ground. If this leads to undesired ground loops, then the GND LIFT switch at the input of the next
device must be switched on or PIN1 of the XLR connecting cable must be disconnected from the shield on one
end. If the output is to be connected using an unbalanced connection, then a cable is required with the following
pinout: XLR PIN2 = hot, PIN3 = ground. Depending on the connected device, a bridge in the XLR plug between
PIN1 and PIN3 is required for hum-free operation. Next to the rear output socket is a switch labelled -20dB. This
can be used to attenuate the signal accordingly for both outputs. This attenuation is necessary if you connect a
LINE signal to the input, but the output is connected to a microphone input. Without attenuation, the microphone
input, for example, on a mixing desk, may very quickly become overloaded. If, on the other hand, the output of
the PAN08 is connected to a LINE input, the signal delivered may be too weak. To boost the level, there are two
pushbuttons labelled GAIN on the front panel for amplification. The switch labelled +6dB provides 2-fold, the 12dB

switch 4-fold amplification. If both switches are pressed, the amplification increases to 18dB. This is equivalent to
an approx. 8-fold amplification factor. On the back of the housing is the connection for the external power supply.
The connector socket is an ordinary input for a DC barrel plug with a 5.5 mm shaft and a 2.1 mm pin receiver. The
outside must have positive and the inside negative polarity. The power adapter included is perfectly matched to
the PAN08. It ensures trouble-free operation using mains power, thus it alone should be used. For battery powered
operation, a corresponding cable must be fabricated. Please send us your corresponding request if necessary.
