INPUTS
The eSAM603 inputs accept two types of audio signals (
mono microphone and/or
stereo line
). For inputs accepting both types of signals, the selection is done using a
MIC/LINE
switch located on the rear panel:
Microphone signal
: Euroblock connector and a nominal input level from -50dBV
(3.16mV) to -20dBV (0.1V), with a GAIN control on the rear panel to adjust the gain.
Here is the wiring diagram for microphones:
Microphones must be low impedance (200 to 600
) and monophonic.
The eSAM603 supplies
phantom power
for condenser microphones; it is enabled by an
internal jumper (see diagram).
Note:
By default, phantom power is disabled (factory setting).
The
Talkover (priority) function
operates when a signal is detected at the inputs 1 to 5
this function is assigned to; it attenuates the other inputs of the unit that don't have priority.
Turn it on/off for each input channel with the "TK" switch on the front panel.
Line level signals
: to manage the important level differences existing between
conventional CD and LINE sources and other devices capable of producing audio signals,
the LINE inputs 2-5 of the eSAM603 are standard line inputs (0dBV) and the sensitivity of
the LINE input #6 can be selected (0/-6dBV) by internal jumper (the default position is
0dBV). A sensitivity of -6dBV is ideal for low-level sound sources such as media players,
portable MP3 players, tablets, computers, mobile phones, etc.
WARNING
:
Turntables
CAN NOT
be directly connected to this unit, because eSAM603
has no RIAA preamp equipped input.
