Installation
The Tube MP/C may be employed in a number of setups including:
• Between a microphone and a mixer, digital workstation, or analog recorder.
• In a mixer’s channel insert points.
• Between a microphone and signal processors.
• Between electronic musical instruments (synthesizers, guitars, bass, samplers, acoustic instruments with pickups)
and other gear.
The XLR output is transformer isolated allowing you to connect the outputs to two different systems without creating ground
loop noise.
Powering up
When the rear panel power switch is turned on, the power indicator LED will illuminate. It is important to remember to turn
the Tube MP/C on before any monitoring levels or power amps are turned on. The Tube MP/C has the ability to add over
60dB of gain to its input signal. This can cause the Tube MP/C to produce a “thump” on power up and power down. Note:
Like all tube-based equipment, the Tube MP/C needs to warm up before being used. Allow one to two minutes for the tubes
to reach proper operating temperature before using.
