A LED PHANTOM INDICATOR Illuminates when 48V phantom power switch is activated on channel A.
B PHANTOM SWITCH PULL TO SWITCH. ON provides 48V phantom power to the input XLR for use
with phantom powered microphones (FET condensor).
C INPUT ATTENUATE Adjusts the amplitude of the incoming signal entering the preamplifier circuit. This
is the main control to set-up level to tape.
D DIRECT INPUT. Plug an instrument in here and use like a direct box with variable gain.
Use the center position of the PHASE SWITCH with this input.
E PHASE SWITCH. For channel A only. 0˚ is the normal setting where a positive going signal from the mic
pin 2 should produce a positive going signal to the speaker. The 180˚ position reverses the phase (polarity)
of the mic signal and is often needed with multiple mics and vocals.
F GAIN dB. For both channels. Not a pad - Adjusts the amount of negative feedback which will affect gain,
linearity, transient response, noise and clipping characteristics. Selects between 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 dB of
maximum gain.
G PHASE SWITCH. For channel B only. 0˚ is the normal setting where a positive going signal from the mic
pin 2 should produce a positive going signal to the speaker. The 180˚ position reverses the phase (polarity)
of the mic signal and is often needed with multiple mics and vocals.
H DIRECT INPUT. Plug an instrument in here and use like a direct box with variable gain.
Use the center position of the PHASE SWITCH with this input.
I INPUT ATTENUATE Adjusts the amplitude of the incoming signal entering the preamplifier circuit. This
is the main control to set-up level to tape for channel B.
J PHANTOM SWITCH PULL TO SWITCH. ON provides 48V phantom power to the input XLR for use
with phantom powered microphones (FET condensor).
K LED PHANTOM INDICATOR Illuminates when 48V phantom power switch is activated on channel B
L LED POWER INDICATOR Illuminates when the preamplifier is powered.
M POWER SWITCH Switch up to turn on the power, down to turn the power off.
