Fader Input to Fader Output Gain
With a ba4dBu signal present at the XLR line input, the fader set to the “0” mark, and the Gain
Select jumper in the default (0dB) position the corresponding balanced XLR line output will be +4dBu.
With the gain jumper in the 6db or 10dB position and the slide fader set at the “10” mark, this will give
the channel a total of 16dB or 20dB of gain respectively.
Note:
Extra gain may be important when interfacing to unbalanced gear or when the source signal level is
extremely low.
