Precautions
Power Supply
Please consider using only the included power adapter. If this is not possible, get a power
adapter matching the following specifications:
• 18 – 20 V DC
• 2.5 A or higher
• Plug: inner contact 2.5 mm (+), outer contact 5.5 mm (–)
Do not use power adapters with dierent or unknown specifications, as this may cause
electrical damage on the device! Furthermore, if an external power adapter is used, this
will be at your own risk. Nonlinear Labs will not be liable to damage caused by external
power adapters.
Things to avoid
Do not place the C15 on so surfaces (pillows, mattresses, etc.) in order to maintain air
circulation during performance.
As the C15 is an electrical (and electronical) device, strictly avoid water contact.
We strongly advise against opening the C15. The inner parts of the instrument compose
an intricate network, fragile to outside influences and potentially dangerous to the unex-
perienced seeker. We suggest to leave the device as it is unless you are absolutely certain
about what you are doing.
Try to avoid using the C15 at extreme environmental temperatures. We can not guarantee
a stable performance at very hot or cold conditions. Furthermore, try to also avoid high
humidity or other diicult circumstances.
Always wait for the shutdown process to complete before cutting the power supply. Do
not cut the power supply during performance. Otherwise, data loss can occur.

Setting up the C15
Mounting the Panel Unit
Ensure the C15 is switched o before following the next four steps:
Attach mounting brackets to Base Unit by
hanging and snapping.
Place Panel Unit on fixated mounting
brackets. There are two pins on the
bottom side of the Panel Unit fitting into
corresponding holes near the peak of each
mounting bracket.
Tighten Panel Unit fixation screws in order
to lock Panel Unit in place.
Connect Base Unit and Panel Unit with the
Unit Connector Cable.

Now the C15 is ready to use and can be switched on. In order to disassemble the paired
setup, follow this protocol by applying the described four steps in reverse manner and
order. The C15 Base Unit can be used on its own as well.
Connections
Besides the Unit Connector Cable, the following external connections are provided by the
Base Unit:
The headphone output provides a 6.3 mm
stereo headphone socket and a potentio-
meter to adjust the level independently
from the line outputs.
The audio output provides two parallel
line-level stereo pairs of audio sockets
(6.3mm TRS and XLR). Both pairs of sockets
provide identical signals. The signals are
transformer-balanced and ground-free,
therefore in most cases a DI-box is not
necessary. Unbalanced and balanced plugs
can be connected. When connecting to
unbalanced inputs please use unbalanced
cables and plugs. Note that using both TRS
and XLR outputs at the same time may
cause hum.
The line output level is adjustable by the
potentiometer at the right end of the
front bar.
Four 6.3 mm pedal sockets are provided for
external pedal control. In general, various
types of control pedals can be connected.
Nevertheless, only continuous pedals allow
for a nuanced performance and are
therefore recommended.

Connecting Pedals and mapping Hardware Sources
Most factory presets use a mapping as shown below. For more information on Hardware
Sources and especially modulation aspects, refer to chapter 5.4 of the User Manual.

The USB connection allows for plugging
in the USB stick, which is part of the C15
package. Via USB, preset banks can be
transferred and updates can be installed.
The C15 comes with its own external power
adapter, which can be connected to the
corresponding appliance inlet.
Start and Shutdown
Turn on the C15 by pressing the power
switch, toggling its “on” state (the button
will be sunken). The boot process will take
several seconds before the device is ready
to use. The last settings will be loaded on
startup. To shut down the C15, press the
power switch, toggling its “o” state (the button will be raised).
The shutdown process will take several seconds, storing the current settings for the next
startup, before the device will turn o. A lamp within the power switch indicates dierent
operation states of the C15 as follows:
steady lit on/normal operation
slow blinking booting
fast blinking shutting down
flashing every 2 seconds Standby mode
A flickering LED indicates an irregular operation mode. It means for example the supply
voltage is too low.
ࠌEnsure that the power supply is not interrupted when using the C15 (booting,
performance, shutdown) in order to prevent data loss.

Setting up a Device for the Graphical User Interface
Concept
The C15 is designed to be of flexible usage and interaction, requiring at least the Base
Unit for connections and performance. In addition, the Panel Unit provides the Hardware
User Interface and therefore access to all parameters, presets and settings.
Finally, the Base Unit also provides a Wi-Fi hotspot in order to connect external devices,
such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers. When connected, the
Graphical User Interface can be accessed by using a browser from the external device.
Multiple external devices can be connected simultaneously, each capable of showing
dierent features. However, only one parameter can be focussed at a time, synchronizing
the Hardware User Interface with every connected external device.
Furthermore, the Wi-Fi connection allows for preset interchange and therefore the
possibility of backing up preset banks to the external device. The C15 User Manual is also
accessible in the browser.
System Requirements
Due to the browser-based implementation of the Graphical User Interface, there are
almost no limitations concerning compatibility between operating systems or browsers.
Basically, the only required device functionalities are the device being capable of a Wi-Fi
connection and an installed browser.
However, in the wide variety of devices, operating systems and browsers, there may be
some restrictions and optimal performance can not be guaranteed. Dierences between
browsers, fast technological advances and frequent updates contribute to a complex
situation, in which it is increasingly hard to state what is suitable.
Nevertheless, there are some experiences that emerged during development and can be
expressed as a recommendation, or understood as minimal requirements:
• The device should run at least with a 1 GHz processing unit and 2 GB RAM space.
• The device display should support multi touch, or a mouse should be connected.
A connected or integrated keyboard is useful in the Graphical User Interface.
• The device display should span at least 7’’ diagonally.
• Although the choice of the browser is completely up to the user, currently (May 2020)
the best performance is achieved by using a Google Chrome browser.
