1.  Remove the 14 phillips head screws from the top lid but leave the lid in place.
2.  Turn on the preamplifier and allow to warm up for at least 45 minutes. (go get a nice cup of 

coffee and do some stretches)

3.  Set all of the preamplifier gain controls to minimum (fully counter clockwise). 
4.  Set all +48V, polarity reverse, pad, and ribbon mode switches to OFF
5.  Remove the top lid and locate the DC offset test points TP7 and TP8 (figure 3) on the channel 

to be adjusted. Place the Volt meter probes into these holes and note the DC Volts.  It should 

be in the range of +/- 0.02V.

6.  Rotate the gain control to maximum (fully clockwise) and note the DC Volts.
7.  Locate DC offset potentiometer VR1 and rotate it for a reading that matches the minimum 

gain reading. +/- 0.005V. 

8.  The objective is to get the minimum gain offset and the maximum gain offset to match as 

closely as possible.

9.  The input offset does drift with temperature and having the lid off will allow the circuitry to 

cool. It is advisable to replace the lid and let the preamplifier warm up again (about 20 min-

utes) and then re-check your adjustments.
