INSTALLATION
To ensure years of enjoyment from your NADY AUDIO SDR-260, please read and understand this manual thoroughly before
using the unit.
INSPECTION
Your NADY AUDIO SDR-260 was carefully packed at the factory in packaging designed to protect the units in shipment.
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
notify your dealer and the shipping company (if shipped to you) immediately to make a claim. Such claims must be made
by the consignee in a timely manner.]
CONTENTS
• Instruction manual
• SDR-260 (verify that the unit’s serial number is same as shown on shipping carton)
• AC Power cord
• Warranty Card
RACK MOUNTING
The SDR-260 fits into one standard 19” rack 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 12” or 30cm). Do not place the SDR-260 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 unit’s 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 back 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.

OPERATION
GETTING STARTED
CUSTOM EFFECTS
Set the INPUT VOLTAGE SELECT SWITCH (8) for either
~115V(60Hz) or ~230V(50Hz) AC power. Attach the power
cord and plug it in.
Custom effects are modified preset programs. There are 60
locations for storing custom effects. Enter the Edit mode by
holding the ROTARY CONTROL KNOB (6) in for 3 seconds.
The display will show the value of the program parameter.
Rotating the knob will raise or lower the program sub-
category parameter value. Pressing the knob quickly will cycle
the sub-categories DELAY (1-250mS), REV (1-99%), HI-
PATIO (0.1-1.0), ER-LVL (1-99). After adjusting the parameter
values for the desired sound the custom effect can be stored.
Holding the knob in for 3 seconds will enter STORE mode.
The Save LED and the “U” will flash; rotate the knob to select
the storage location [U1-U60]. To complete the STORE
process, Hold the knob in for 3 seconds, the STORE LED will
blink twice indicating the changes have been stored. To
cancel the STORE process press and release the knob
quickly.
Connect the Input and Output signals from the SDR-260 to
your audio system with the appropriate XLR balanced or 1/4”
unbalanced INPUT and OUTPUT JACKS (11, 13, 14, 16),
depending on the type of cable and connectors you’re using.
For Mono input use the Left channel input connector. XLR
output is disconnected when output 1/4” jack is inserted.
Turn the POWER SWITCH (7) On. You will see the preset
Program number [P 1] on the VALUE INDICATOR (3).
ADJUSTING LEVELS
Adjust the INPUT GAIN CONTROL (1) for the highest setting
without the red top L/R LED indicators of the INPUT LEVEL
DISPLAY (2) staying on continuously. Occasional flickering of REMOTE CONTROL USING MIDI
these red LED indicators is normal.
Connect the SDR-260 to the MIDI controller via the rear panel
MIDI INPUT (10) connector.
The INPUT LEVEL SWITCH (15) and OUTPUT LEVEL
SWITCH (12) are provided to adjust the levels for the
optimum performance. Adjust the level controls to minimum
noise and distortion while operating with the components of
your sound system.
