Front and Real Panels
When reading the following description of front and rear panel harware
features, it may be helpful to refer to the adjacent diagram.
Front
1. High Impedance Input 1
: High impedance (100K) input for
Preamp 1. This input is optimized for guitars or high impedance
microphones where you don’t want to load down the source. When
this input is being used XLR input 1 is disabled.
IMPORTANT:
Because the high impedance input jack is switched, the XLR input
cannot be used whenever something is plugged into the high
impedance input.
2. Sig(nal) and Clip LED Preamp 1
: Whenever a signal is applied to
either the high impedance ”In” or the XLR “In” of Preamp 1, these
LEDs will show signal present and clipping levels. If a signal is
applied in this manner and the clipping LED lights too much adjust
the Preamp 1 gain control accordingly.
3. Gain Control for Preamp 1
: Adjusts the Output 1 volume level
for Preamp 1. If a signal is present at either the high impedance in
or the XLR in of Preamp 1 and the Clipping LED stays lit, turn down
this gain control and adjust accordingly.
4, 5 and 6.
Same as 1, 2 and 3 for Preamp 2. Remember,
Preamp 1 and Preamp 2 are completely independent.
7. Phantom Power Indicator LED
: When the phantom power
switch on the back of the unit is in, this LED will light indicating that
phantom power has been turned on for
both
XLR in 1 and XLR 2.
IMPORTANT
: Phantom power is turned on for both preamps, i.e.
there is no independent phantom power control for each of the
channels.
8. Main Power Indicator LED
: When power is properly applied to
the Audio Buddy and when the front power switch is in, the main
power LED will light indicating that the unit is turned on.
9. Power Switch:
When power is properly applied to the Audio
Buddy and this switch is pressed in, the Audio Buddy is turned on.
When this is done the Main Power LED will light.
Rear
10. 9 VAC Power Jack.
The rear panel power jack of the Audio
Buddy accepts a 9-Volt AC, 500 milliamp power adapter.
IMPORTANT
: Audio Buddy will not function unless it receives power
at this jack and the front panel power switch is pushed in.
11 / 12. Outputs 2 and 1:
These are the main outputs for the dual
Audio Buddy preamps. They provide unbalanced outputs if a tip-
sleeve 1/4” plug is used. Or, they provide balanced outputs if a tip-
ring-sleeve (stereo) 1/4” plug is used. The level of these outputs are
independently controlled by the front panel gain controls.
Remember, Preamp 1 and Preamp 2 are completely independent.
13. Phantom Power Switch:
When in, phantom power is turned on
for
both
XLR In 1 and In 2. When in, the front panel phantom
power indicator LED will light showing that phantom power is on.
14., 15. XLR-In 1 & 2:
(#15 is 1; #14 is 2) Balanced XLR inputs for
preamps 1 and 2. When the rear phantom power switch is in,
phantom power is turned on to both jacks.
IMPORTANT
: If anything is plugged into either of the front-panel
high-impedance input jacks, the corresponding XLR input will be
disabled.
