1.4.2 Microphone Input (XLR)
The microphone input accepts a mic-level signal. Mic
level signals are generally very low in voltage: around a
couple of millivolts, or thousandths of a volt. The job of
the mic preamp is to increase the mic output signal by as
much as 75 dB to line level, which is between 1 and 2
volts.
1.4.3 Line Output (XLR)
The output signal from your preamp comes from here. If
you are connecting your preamp to a patch bay on a
console instead of a line XLR input on another piece of
gear, you will want to purchase (or make) a female XLR
to male
¼
” TRS adaptor cable if your patch bay has TRS
inputs. The output signal is line level, not mic level, so
patching it into a mic pre-amp afterwards is unnecessary
and may cause problems.
1.4.4 Power supply Connection
The jack is where you connect your external 48V DC power
supply.
