2. Output Jacks 1 and 2: These 1/4” TRS jacks are the main outputs for the

pre-amps. Using a TRS (tip-ring-sleeve), or ‘stereo’ 1/4” plug, the

DMP2 will provide a balanced line-level output. Using a TS (tip-sleeve)

1/4” plug, the outputs will be unbalanced.

3. Phantom Power Switch: When this button is pressed and locked to the

‘In’ position, phantom power (48v) will be sent to both XLR In 1 and

XLR In 2.

4. High Impedance Instrument Inputs: These high impedance (100k Ohm)

inputs are optimized for guitars or high impedance microphones. When

an instrument is plugged into this jack, the corresponding channel’s XLR

input is disabled.

5. Microphone Inputs 1 and 2: These are the balanced, low impedance

microphone inputs to the pre-amp channels. NOTE: When phantom

power is engaged, power is sent to the ground wire on BOTH of these

channels. When an instrument is plugged into the 1/4” jacks, the

corresponding XLR jack is disabled.

DMP2 Operation

It is conceivable that once the DMP2 is attached to your system and

powered up, you will be plugging and unplugging different microphones

and instruments. Follow this simple procedure, then make sure that the

gain controls on the DMP2 are at their lowest levels when attaching or

changing mics or instruments.

1. Plug in the 9v "wall wart" power supply into the wall receptacle, and

the other end into your DMP2 9v power jack.

2. Make the necessary connections from the outputs of the DMP2 to the

inputs of your computer sound card, mixer (use the line level inputs),

or sound system’s power amp. NOTE: If your target device accepts a

balanced signal either on a TRS or XLR jack, use a TRS plug (tip-ring-

sleeve, typically a stereo plug) on the outputs of the DMP2. If your

target device accepts only an unbalanced line in, then use a ‘TS’ plug

(tip-sleeve, i.e. a standard guitar cable). Check the documentation of

your sound card or other receiving device if you are unsure. When

possible, always use the balanced outputs as this will provide a quieter

and hotter signal.

3. With all volume controls at their lowest settings, turn on your DMP2,

then your sound system.

Setting the Gain

The DMP2 provides up to 70dB of gain on the XLR inputs, and up to 50dB

of gain on the high impedance inputs. Microphones and guitar pickups
