1.2 FEATURES
The following is a summary of your DigiTUBE’s features:

Dual Servo Gain Stage
Your DigiTUBE contains a dual servo gain stage (no capacitors). This design 
provides ultra low noise performance and wide dynamic control. The DigiTUBE 
can boost the desirable signal without increasing unwanted background noise.

Mic/Instrument/Line Input
The DigiTUBE has a Neutrik™ combo (XLR & 1⁄4”) connector. The XLR input can 
be used for microphone signals and phantom power is available for condenser 
mics when the 48V switch is engaged. The XLR will also accept line level signals 
when the PAD/LINE switch is engaged. The 1⁄4” input will accept instrument level 
signals, only. The PAD/LINE switch has no effect on the 1⁄4” input and it should 
be understood that the 1⁄4” input is not designed to accept line level signals.

Pad/Line
A switch on the front panel may be used to engage a -20dB pad for mic level 
signals or change the XLR input operating level from mic to line. Using the -
20dB pad provides a more manageable signal from high output devices giving 
the operator greater control over the incoming signal and a much reduced 
chance of over-driving the input, thereby avoiding distortion.

48V
The DigiTUBE has 48V phantom power available. Phantom power assures 
optimum performance from your condenser microphone without the need of 
an external power supply. A 80Hz switch is provided on the front panel of the 
DigiTUBE that enables the user to insert an 80Hz filter. Often referred to as a 
rumble filter, this feature is useful for eliminating bothersome low-end sounds 
such as air conditioning noise without greatly altering the desired audio.

Parametric Equalizer
The equalizer section is equipped with three dual concentric potentiometers 
The outer control selects the frequency and the inner control boosts/cuts the 
selected frequency. The EQ controls are LOW, MID, HI from left to right. The 
bandwidths are broad enough and have enough overlap to allow a very effective 
contour of the incoming audio signal.
