Owner’s Manual

Firstly, let us congratulate you on your purchase of the DRS- 8 Microphone Pre-Amplifier.

We know you will be as pleased with it’s sonic qualities as we are.

You are now the proud owner of a mic-pre/DI that has the advantages of more than 25 years

experience in audio engineering, today’s component and manufacturing technology, but still

retaining “that sound” uniquely achievable through Class A design.

As you can tell, Phoenix Audio is dedicated to the development of Class A discrete

technology used within high build-quality equipment.

The DRS-8 Mic-Pre/DI uses our well proven and loved Class A output stage (DSOP2),

but also has our latest breakthrough in transformer-less Class A, Discrete Mic Input

Technology which gives a "valve-like" sound. It also incorporates our high input

impedance DI circuitry.

You CAN hear the difference!!!

Controls and descriptions: Front Panel: Input Sens Switch: The Input sensitivity switch is a rotary 9 position switch. It is marked from -30 to -70. This controls the gain for the INPUT stage in 5dBu steps. The switch applies gain at all times and does not disconnect when using the Mic/Line switch. It affects both the XLR and 1/4” jack inputs (see rear panel inputs) at once. Mic/Line switch: The Mic/Line switch allows the use of Mic or Line level inputs.

Input Connectors: The Input connectors are XLR/1/4” Jack “combo” sockets. These will accept XLR or 1/4” Stereo or Mono Jack plugs. Either type of input connector can be used, at any time, in any channel. Special attention should be paid to the +48V switch position (see +48V switch) when using LINE level inputs. Output Connectors: The output connectors are standard 3 Pin XLR connectors. These outputs are transformer-coupled balanced outputs.
