noise performance and wide dynamic control. This gives 
the  BLUETUBE DP  the ability to boost  your  signal 
without increasing unwanted background noise.   

?

 

Phantom Power.

  Each channel of your  BLUETUBE 

DP  has 48V phantom power available.  When the 
phantom power switch is engaged on either channel, 
power is supplied at a constant rate to that channel. This 
assures optimum performance of your condenser 
microphone(s) and that the signal will be free of 
distortion due to insufficient power.  

?

 

Polarity Reversal.

  A polarity reversal switch is provided 

on each channel.  This switch enables the user to invert 
the  polarity  of a microphone if phase cancellation is 
noticed when using identical microphones in close 
proximity to one another.  The polarity reversal switch 
also can compensate for different XLR connector hook-
ups where pin connections have been inverted. 

?

 

-20dB Pad.  

A  -20dB pad is available on each channel 

for reducing the in-coming signal level.  This pad 
provides a more manageable signal from high output 
devices giving the operator greater control over the in-
coming signal and a much reduced chance of over-
driving the input and thereby avoiding distortion. 

?

 

80Hz Filter.

 A rumble filter is available to eliminate low 

frequency noise. This lets you greatly reduce 
background noise such as air conditioners or wind noise 
with the flick of a switch without  effecting the desired 
frequencies. 

?

 

Mic/Instrument Input.

 Each channel of the BLUETUBE 

DP  has a separate Neutrik Combo

?

 XLR / ¼ inch 

connector is provided on the back of the  chassis  for 
signal input from microphone XLR or instrument ¼ inch
