12. Output
The output section conditions the Microvolt 3900 audio signal for a mono line level output(108) and a stereo (dual
mono) output(109) for headphones. The output drive trimmer(25) uses our unique soft clipping overdrive circuit to
push the audio signal to extremes.
The output drive trimmer provides 1x to 30x signal gain designed to press the audio signal up against the soft
clipping overdrive circuit.
The output fader controls the level for both the line output(108) and headphone output(109) jacks.
The output of the dynamic vca is internally wired to the output section. This can not be changed.
Output Patching Notes
Boosting the output drive will increase the overall and perceived level of the output signal. Reduce the output
level fader while adding output drive to ensure the output level remains the same.
Not using the headphone output jack(109)? Use a patch cable to patch between the headphone out(109) and the
external input (102) to add a feedback loop to the signal patch.
