• Output Gain control: continuously variable from +0 dB to +19 dB of additional output gain, follow-
ing the Curve-Shaper circuitry
• Switched LF Shelving filter: -3 dB break-frequency tunable from 18 Hz to 360 Hz; maximum reduc-
tion -20 dB
• Switched Curve-Shaper and HF Boost: +3dB break-frequency tunable from 2.1 kHz to 26 kHz; HF
gain adjustable from +0 dB to +18 dB; the slope of the HF filter varies interactively and directly with
the Curve-Shaper and HF gain settings
• XLR output maximum level into 600
Ω
load: +28 dBu, balanced; +22 dBu, unbalanced;
0 dBu = 0.7746 V rms
• TRS output maximum level into 100 k
Ω
load: +22 dBu, unbalanced; 0 dBu = 0.7746 V rms
• Recommended load for the unbalanced output: > 10 K
Ω
• XLR connectors polarity: pin-1 is ground, pin-2 is high, pin-3 is low
• TRS connector polarity: tip is high, ring is tied to ground, sleeve is ground
• LED signal level indicators: green snaps on at -5 dBu, red snaps on at +20 dBu, and yellow varies in
brightness with level from 0 dBu to +20 dBu—all referenced to the unbalanced output.
