(1) Limiter / Compressor LINE OUTPUT
-
A balanced XLR connector carrying the line-level output
signal of the 6176 limiter/compressor section. Pin 2 is wired positive (hot).
(2) Limiter / Compressor LINE INPUT
-
Connect line-level input signal (coming from a device such
as a mixer, DAW, tape machine, or signal processor) to the limiter/compressor section via this
balanced XLR connector. Pin 2 is wired positive (hot).
(3) Limiter / Compressor Input Loading
-
When this button is pushed in, the input impedance will be
600 ohms, typical of older vintage gear. When the button is out, the impedance will be 15K ohms. In
some situations you may perceive a “brighter” tone by using the 15K ohm position.
(4) AC Power
Connector / Fuse Holder
-
Connect a standard, detachable IEC power cable (supplied)
here. If fuse replacement is required, use only a 400 mA time delay (slow blow) fuse for operation at
115 V, or a 200 mA time delay (slow blow) fuse for operation at 230 V.
(5) Preamp LINE OUTPUT
-
A balanced XLR connector carrying the line-level output signal of the
6176 preamp section. Note that Pin 2 is positive when the front panel Polarity toggle switch is down
(IN ø). Pin 3 is positive when the front panel Polarity switch is up (OUT ø). (

(6) Preamp LINE INPUT
-
Connect line-level input signal (coming from a device such as a mixer,
DAW, tape machine, or signal processor) to the preamp section of the 6176 via this balanced XLR
connector. Pin 2 is wired positive (hot). Note: If a connection is made to this Line input, be sure that
there is
no
connection also made to the Mic or Hi-Z inputs.
(7) Preamp MIC INPUT
-
Connect your microphone to this standard XLR connector. Pin 2 is wired
positive (hot). Note: If a connection is made to the Mic input, be sure that there is
no
connection also
made to the Preamp Line or Hi-Z inputs.
Never substitute different fuses other than those specified here!
Make only one type of connection (Mic, Line, or Hi-Z) to the 6176 preamp section.
