INITIAL SETUP
The diagram below illustrates the front panel controls of the CP.
Note: Many amplifiers produce a local magnetic field that can be picked up by the sensitive
circuitry of a preamplifier. Try to provide at least a foot of space between your amplifier and
your CP preamplifier.
B
: The digit display shows the currently selected volume setting. The lights underneath the
digit indicate which value is selected. The readout is in dB of attenuation, therefore a higher
number indicates a lower output level. If the output is muted the display will flash repeatedly.
D
: The mono input mode combines both input channels into a single monaural signal and
outputs the combined signal on both output channels.
E
: The four input selectors choose the current active audio input. Individual gain can be set
for each input. Press and hold the button for the appropriate input. The display will switch to
the gain setting for that input, 00 by default. Rotate the volume knob to select up to 18 dB of
additional gain, then press the input button again to store the value.
A
: The rotary controller adjusts the currently selected volume level. Press the knob to switch
between the volume setting for left, right or both channels, indicated by the lights underneath
the digit display.
C
: The processor input mode passes the current audio input through an external processor
unit before it is output. See the previous page for instructions on connecting a processor
device.
