A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Meyer Sound PSM-2, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Meyer Sound PSM-2 one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Meyer Sound PSM-2. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of Meyer Sound PSM-2 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Meyer Sound PSM-2
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Meyer Sound PSM-2 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Meyer Sound PSM-2 item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Meyer Sound PSM-2 alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Meyer Sound PSM-2, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Meyer Sound service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Meyer Sound PSM-2.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Meyer Sound PSM-2 item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    4 AC Power The AC voltage operating ranges for the PSM-2 are 85–134 V and 165–264 V, at 50 or 60 Hz. The PSM-2 performs surge suppression for high voltage transients and can safely withstand voltages up to 275 VAC. Continuous voltages above 275 VAC may damage the unit! When an AC source is applied to the PSM-2, the Intelligent AC power supply ?[...]

    6 Limiting and Protection Circuitry TruPower Limiting System Conventional limiters assume that the resistance of a speaker remains constant and set the limiting threshold by measuring voltage only. This method is inaccurate because the speaker’s resistance changes in response to the frequency content of the source material and thermal variations [...]

    7 The fans draw air in through ducts on the front of the cabinet, over the heatsinks, and out the rear of the cabinet. Since dust does not accumulate in the ampli fier circuitry, its life span is increased significantly. Make sure that the air ducts are clear and that there is at least 6” clearance for exhaust behind the cabinet. air air cooling [...]

    8 PSM-2 and PSW-2 The PSM-2 can be used with the Meyer PSW-2, PSW-4, or 650-P self-powered subwoofers. However, due to the overlap of frequency response between the PSM-2 and th e subwoofer, the system frequency response exhibits a rise in the range 50–120 Hz. The rise can be eliminated by the Meyer CP-10 Parametric Equalizer , if desired. In a c[...]

    9 • To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the loudspeaker from the AC mains before installing audio cable. Reconnect the power cord only after making all signal connections. • Connect the loudspeaker to a two-pole, three wire grounding mains receptacle. The receptacle must be connected to a fuse or circuit breaker. Connection to any [...]
