Gain Trim
The Gain Trim control is preset at the 3 mark for a typical vocal microphone (for example a
Shure SM58), and should be suitable for a wide range of microphones with similar output
levels. If you are using a microphone that differs markedly from this norm, then you may
need to adjust this control.
Turn it to the RIGHT to increase the sensitivity, for microphones that have a LOWER output,
and turn it to the LEFT to decrease the sensitivity, for microphones that have a HIGHER
output.
Note: Use a plastic TV type trimmer or a fully insulated screwdriver ONLY.
Adjust the gain in small increments. Remember that a little movement is a lot of change.
Pressing the Mic/Line switch IN actvates a -20dB pad, making the input suitable for Line
levels.
