1.  GAIN (stepped, 12-position switch): clockwise 

rotation yields an increase in input signal amplitude, 
counterclockwise rotation yields a decrease in input 
signal amplitude

2.  48V: engage to turn phantom power on, disengage  
 

to turn phantom power off

3.  PHASE: engage to adjust input signal polarity by  
 

180°, disengage to leave input signal polarity    

 unchanged

4.  OUT LEVEL: clockwise rotation yields less  

 

 

attenuation, counterclockwise rotation yields more  

 

attenuation (for beginners, it’s best to leave the  

 

output level fully clockwise and increase Gain as  

 

needed so as not to saturate the input transformer)

5.  Hi-Z: engage to select faceplate TS jack as input  
 

source, disengage to select XLR input jack on 500  

 

series rack as input source (GAIN does not adjust  

 

signal level, however, OUT LEVEL does attenuate  

 

the signal)
