With the Line Output knob pulled out (+10db), and the extra +4db added when the Sensitivity
knob is pulled out, it will be possible to overload some amps, and even some consoles. With
this in mind, start out with both the Line Out Level and the Balanced Out Level on Monique
turned to zero (CCW). Then turn up to dial in your sweet spot.
The DI Output of Monique is a (Cinemag) transformer driven balanced XLR output
. This 600
ohm output was originally intended to drive a microphone cable on stage going directly to the
sound engineer, or for the studio. It can drive hundreds of feet of microphone cable with no
hum and no signal loss.
The level control for the Balanced XLR output is on the back of Monique in the Dove Cage
and the Bamboo Moniques and on the front for the Rack Mount Monique and the Tardis
Monique.
The Line Out and the Balanced XLR Out of Monique are completely separate outputs. They
are Post EQ. You can use them together or individually. Monique doesn't care.
Monique is entirely hand wired and assembled right here in Santa Cruz California, USA.
Every component in Monique is individually selected and individually tested. Yes, she is
pretty, but she is entirely road worthy.
Customers have noticed that the tubes will move a bit. The tubes are rubber mounted by
design. In the years of very high end High Fidelity tube audio (yes, Jule is that old), all tubes
were rubber mounted. This is good for rough wear, but it is more important as a way to isolate
low end vibration from the tubes that will affect the tone.
The relationship Jule Amps has with customers is one that allows us the privilege of making
music around the world. That is extremely important.
For the above reason, if Monique ever does something that you do not understand or you do
not like, please let us know. On the other side of the picture, remember us when you hit the
big time.
We have gear around the world, on tour and in studios, with tubes that have not been
changed in more than 10 years of very active service. Tubes are supposed to eventually wear
out. For the first year you own your Monique, we will repair or replace any failed component.
After that, please give us a call and we'll do what we can. We are proud to be a part of your
music.
