Before installing and using your unit, carefully examine the packaging and all contents for any signs of physical damage  
that may have occurred in transit.  
[Please note: Nady Systems is not responsible for shipping damage. If your unit is damaged, do not return to Nady, but

RACK MOUNTING  
The SD-2418 fits into one standard 19rack unit of space (1 3/4). Parts of the unit can become very warm during use.  
This is normal during operation. Care should be taken to ensure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling (at  
least 12or 30cm). Do not place the SD-2418 on high temperature devices such as power amplifiers, etc., or the unit may  
overheat in operation. Also, do not place the unit on speakers as this may cause them to move and/or fall due to speaker  
vibrations.  
Although the units chassis is shielded against radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), extremely  
high fields of RF and EMI should be avoided.  
POWER CONNECTION  
The SDR-260 has an internal power supply and is designed to operate from an external AC source. Power requirements  
for electrical equipment differ from area to area. Be sure to confirm that the voltage selected by the voltage selector switch  
on the bottom panel is proper for your area (120VAC/60 Hz or 230VAC/50Hz) per the information below:  
Europe (except UK): 230V, 50Hz  
UK and Australia: 240V, 50Hz  
USA and Canada: 120V, 60 Hz  
For other areas, please check with local authorities.When ready to operate, plug the AC cord into the power source. Make  
sure that the unit is turned off before connecting to the AC power source to avoid possible loud transients that can  
damage your speakers or your ears, especially when monitoring with headphones.

1. POWER SWITCH  
3. CHANNEL A SIGNAL LED  
Use this switch to power unit ON or OFF. The integrated LED will  
light when the unit is ON. Before turning on this unit, verify  
connection to the proper voltage AC source, check all  
connections and turn down the level controls of equipment  
connected to the outputs.  
This LED lights green when an audio signal is detected at the  
input of Channel A. The LED will light red when the input signal  
is too high and causes clipping. If the LED is blinking red, turn  
down the volume level of the audio equipment source.  
4. CHANNEL B SIGNAL LED  
Same operation as Channel A LED  
2. MODE DISPLAY LED  
The corresponding LED will light green to indicate whether the  
SD-2418 is set to Single Mode 1-8 (stereo) or Dual Mode 2-4  
(stereo). In Single Mode, the signal input into Ch A is distributed  
to outputs 1 through 8. In Dual Mode, the signal input into Ch A  
is distributed to outputs 1 through 4 and a signal input into Ch B  
is distributed to outputs 5 through 8.

This fuse holder contains an AC primary fuse. When this fuse  
blows, replace it with the same type fuse, size and power rating  
(see SPECIFICATIONS). If it continuously blows, stop replacing  
the fuse and refer servicing to qualified personnel. The cord  
connector is used to connect the AC power source to your  
power amplifier.  
5. OUTPUT CONNECTORS (1 - 4)  
Balanced XLR outputs for Ch. A signal.  
6. OUTPUT CONNECTORS (5 - 8)  
Balanced XLR outputs for Ch. A signal, when in Single Mode,

(CAUTION: After checking the AC supply voltage, be sure that  
the correct fuse is in the fuse holder.)  
Note: All output signals are in-phase with the input signal.  
CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE THE AC PLUG CENTER  
GROUNDING PIN.  
7. INPUT VOLTAGE SELECT SWITCH (BOTTOM PANEL)  
Select 115V/60Hz or 230V/50Hz as appropriate for your area.  
2. SELECT SWITCH  
This push button switch selects the mode of operation. When  
the switch is out, Single Mode 1-8 (mono) is selected.  
Depressing this button selects Dual Mode 2-4 (stereo).  
(CAUTION: Selecting the wrong voltage can damage your unit.
