INSERT/LINE INPUT MODE
Line Input mode bypasses the mic preamp stage to accommodate
line-level signals. Depressing the Insert switch bypasses the first
gain stage and routes the signal from the Line Input connector
straight to the optional CurveShaper™ circuitry and Output Level
control (ref. #5). The illuminated green LED below the Insert switch
indicates when the insert is active. Plug line level signal sources
into the Line In connector (ref. B) located on the back panel.
