audio
cable). This interrupts the ground path and therefore breaks the
loop.

The main application of the Tube PAC is as a microphone pream-
plifier and compressor. To use the Tube PAC as a mic or line pre-
amplifier only, simply press the Bypass switch to bypass the com-
pression circuitry. Plug any microphone directly into either input
and set the input and output controls to provide an appropriate
level into the next stage of your system.
The Tube PAC is ideal for use as a DI box. Plug the instrument into
either input and use the XLR, 1/4, or both outputs to connect to
your recorder, board, or PA system. Experiment with different input
level settings for different textures.
In most cases the Tube PAC offers superior performance to the on-
board preamp on your console. To use the Tube PAC instead of
your on-board preamp, simply connect the output of the Tube PAC
to the line input of your mixer’s input channel. N
