parametric equalizer with signal sources other than the preamp module. It can also be used as the
input for a wireless receiver.
DUAL FOOT SWITCH
•
The foot switch jack accepts the stereo plug from the foot switch. Closing either the tip or the ring to
ground causes the Instrument ON or Stereo Effects loop to be activated, illuminating the 'on' LEDs
on the front panel and the foot switch.
OUTPUTS (L AND R)
•
The TRS output jacks allows the HZ-10 to interface with unbalanced and balanced line systems. The
outputs are muted for 5 seconds when the power is turned on to minimize turn-on transients.
EFFECTS SEND
• SEND OUTPUTS
: The two effects send jacks supply a post-equalizer signal to drive the input of
the effects units or an instrument tuner. The outputs are muted for a few seconds when the unit is first
turned on.
•
SEND LEVEL
: The send level adjusts the output to the requirements of the effects being used:
Full level for +4 dbu professional inputs
Half way for -10 dbV semi-pro equipment
< Half-way for instrument-level effects.
STEREO EFFECTS RETURNS
•
RETURN INPUTS (L AND R)
: The two return inputs accept the stereo output signals from the
effect unit. The inputs accommodate both low and high level signals.
•
MIX
/
REPLACE
: The mix/replace mode switch sets up the return inputs for the type of stereo
effects used:
The
MIX
mode is for effects that are
blended
with the unprocessed ('dry') guitar sound (e.g. reverb,
delay).
The
REPLACE
mode is for effects that are meant to r
eplace
the 'dry' sound (e.g.compressor/limiter),
or effects that have their own 'mix' feature that blends the effect with the dry sound inside
the effect
unit (e.g. a multi-effects processor).
Introduction
The HZ-10SE is the first professional-quality preamp system designed specifically for acoustic
instrument pickups. It consists of a 'front-end' instrument preamp (Preamp Module), a rack mountable Main
