USING THE DECODER AS THREE CHANNEL MIC PREAMP
The Decoder is perfectly well suited to be used as a two or three channel
microphone preamp with a mixed mono output. This could be for field
recording, podium use or other applications where a high performance,
yet compact mic pre may be required. Because the Decoder is able to
produce as much as 65dB of gain, it is well suited for condenser, dynamic
and most ribbon microphones. You can also use the Decoder to power an
active direct box like a Radial J48.
1. Connect the first microphone to input-1 and the second microphone
to input-2b.
2. Connect the LEFT output to the input of your recording or PA system.
3. Activate the phantom power if needed. The 48V phantom power
switches are recessed to prevent accidental use. Note: Some ribbon
mics can be damaged if phantom is present. Please check with the
manufacturer to ensure safe use.
4. Bring up the GAIN on the two channels as needed.
5. To change the polarity of the second mic, depress the 180° switch, and
then adjust the level using the 2b GAIN switch. Changing the polarity
can be used to widen stereo tracks or time-align tracks to bring them
into focus. Try it!
