NOTE:
While VU meters are usually calibrated to 0dB VU = +4dBu, this meter is
a true dBu meter where 0dB on the meter is in fact 0dBu. This means that when
the Mic Pre II’s meter is reading 0dB and you patch into another standard VU
meter directly from the mic pre you will show a reading of -4dB.

Audio Inputs and Outputs
The back panel contains balanced XLR inputs and outputs for each
channel, as well as a balanced 1/4” TRS output connector for each channel
which is wired in parallel to the XLR output. If you want an unbalanced output
you can use a 1/4” TS cable (a guitar cable) in the TRS jack. If you use both an
XLR output cable and a 1/4” TS cable at the same time keep in mind you will be
making the XLR output unbalanced because they are in parallel. Always use
high-quality connectors and cables to wire the Mic Pre II into your system.
Wiring is not the place to skimp.
Power Inlet
There is a power inlet on the back panel for connection to the power
supply included with the unit. Please run power cables away from foot traffic, in
a place where they’re not likely to be kicked out or tripped over.
