Front panel
Instrument/line input
Each channel has a ¼" Jack instrument/line input on the
front panel. The input is for use with instruments (like
guitar, bass etc) and it can be used in a balanced as well
as an unbalanced configuration.
When a Jack is plugged-in, the input circuit automatically
de-activates the mic input at the back panel, switches to
high impedance mode and activates the line input.
Plugging in a mono Jack enables the normal unbalanced
input configuration.
Plugging in a stereo Jack enables the balanced input
configuration.
For further information about using the balanced
configuration see page 8, Remote ground connection
Insert point switch
The toggle switch controls the bypass function of the
insert point. The insert point exists electrically between
the output of the preamp and the input to the digital
module.
When the LED is ON, the signal chain between the
preamp and the digital module is “open” which means
that external equipment can be inserted between the
insert send and the insert return.
At the same time, the signal at the insert return point is
also sent to the direct line output.
When the LED is OFF, the signal is routed directly from
the preamp to the digital module. The insert return input
is then inactive.
At the same time, the signal from the insert send point
(preamp out) is also sent to the direct line output.
+48V Phantom Voltage
The toggle switch turns the Phantom Voltage at the mic
input on and off. The LED indicates the status.
When phantom voltage blocking is selected by setting
DIP switch 3, the +48V LED will flash briefly if you push
the button. No phantom voltage will be applied.
