GETTING STARTED AND POWERING UP
The ISA Two is a high quality two-channel preamplifier, which can be used to record microphone,
line-level and instrument sources. Microphones and line-level sources are connected at the rear
panel, whilst instruments are plugged directly into the front panel. The front panel also has gain
controls and other controls such as phantom power and input impedance selection. LED peak meters
are provided, with a calibration control at the rear panel, to ensure a suitable signal level is achieved.
An on-off switch on the front panel applies power to the unit, providing the supplied IEC mains lead is
connected to the socket on the rear. Please make sure that the ISA Two is turned on before powering
any devices connected to the outputs.
The IEC mains lead supplied with the unit should have the correct moulded plug for your country.
The wiring colour code used is:
