27Creon
Mic Gain
The Creon features two identical microphone preamps. The preamps are discrete,
which means they use single transistors instead of ICs. This allows the preamp to be
perfectly optimized for its task — such efforts are usually taken only in the production
of high-end preamps.
Use the Mic Gain control to adjust the microphone preamp level. The adjustable
volume range spans from +3 to +60dB. To achieve the best recording level, the -6dB
LED should flash from time to time: you have enough headroom left. If the LED remains
always on, it means that the level is at the brink of overloading — in such cases, you
should reduce the Mic Gain value.
The OVL LED indicates the Creon‘s converter is overloading, which should be strictly
avoided.
IMPORTANT:
Line 1|2 has preference over Mic Input 1|2
Instrument input has preference over Mic input 2 and Line input 2
Control Elements
To record microphone signals, Line 1 and/
or Line 2, Instrument ought to be free.
