DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER
OPERATORS MANUAL
Quick Start
This section is for those that just can’t wait to get started. This
Distribution Amplifier has a powerful feature not found on most
DA’s –
Output assignment switches.
If your application calls
for a single channel set-up with one Input driving all Outputs,
set all of the switches to the appropriate Input (
A
or
B
). To mix
both inputs, set them all to
A+B
. In this mode, both Inputs drive
all Outputs with the Inputs summed. The
MASTER LEVEL
controls set the input level.
Occasionally blinking
OL
indicators
are okay. The individual
OUTPUT LEVEL
controls set the level
for each Output channel.
For a stereo application, decide how the stereo Outputs are to
be assigned and set the assignment switches accordingly. Eight
stereo outputs are possible.
Set the back panel switches for either
LINE
or
MIC
Inputs.
When using microphones that require a “phantom” voltage, turn

on the
PHANTOM POWER
switch, illuminating its rear panel
LED. Because the phantom voltage is applied to both Inputs,
don’t mix phantom powered and non-phantom powered mics in
the same DA216S.
Never engage the phantom voltage when using
an unbalanced mic
—doing so may damage the mic. If the mic is
too “hot”, press the
INPUT GAIN
switch
in
to reduce the gain
by 20 dB. Incidentally, the
INPUT PAD
switch reduces the gain
40 dB when in the
LINE
position (pressed
in
). When using the
Inputs for line-level, pressing in both the
INPUT PAD
and the
INPUT GAIN
switches provides a nominal gain of 0 dB. An
additional 16 dB of gain is available when both the
MASTER
LEVEL
and
OUTPUT LEVEL
controls are turned all the way
up (clockwise).
The internal universal supply allows operation in almost any
part of the world. All that is required in different countries is the
correct IEC line cord.
