Silk
This illuminated push-button switch toggles through the available SILK transformer harmonic saturation modes: OFF,
RED, and BLUE. Red Silk has a high frequency emphasis associated with the transformer harmonics, while Blue Silk has
a low frequency emphasis associated with the transformer harmonics. We encourage the user to experiment with both
modes to find the most suitable tonal coloration for their particular application.
Texture
This 31-detent potentiometer allows the user to adjust the amount of Silk transformer saturation added to the signal
path when Silk Red or Blue modes are engaged.
Gain Reduction Meter
This 16 segment LED bar-graph meter indicates compressor-limiter gain reduction, indicated in dB. After 4 dB of atten-
uation, the LEDs turn to amber and after 8 dB, the LEDs turn red.
Output Meter
This 16-segment LED bar-graph meter indicates output level, indicated in dBu. The top-most red LED is calibrated to
illuminate at +25dBu, corresponding to the maximum output level of the PIIMB.
Power
The PIIMB has an IEC Standard 3-Pin grounded fused AC inlet with 100-240VAC 50/60Hz input range, 85 Watts max pow-
er AC consumption. The fuse is located directly above the rear-panel AC Inlet (see fuse type specifications on pg. 8). The
corresponding power switch is located on the PIIMB front panel.
Side Chain Insert Send
This TS jack is provided on the PIIMB rear panel to allow the user to send the PIIMB side-chain audio to an external pro-
cessor like an EQ. The PIIMB Side-chain Insert Send should be connected to the input of the chosen external processor.
Side Chain Insert Return
This TS jack is provided on the PIIMB rear panel to allow the user to return the processed side-chain audio to the PIIMB‘s
sidechain input. The PIIMB Side-chain Insert Return should be connected from the output of the chosen external pro-
cessor.
Inputs
A stereo pair of female Neutrik XLR’s are provided on the rear panel for connection to the PIIMB’s custom Rupert Neve
Designs transformer-coupled discrete Class-A inputs.
Outputs
A stereo pair of male Neutrik XLR”s are provided on the rear panel for connection to the PIIMB’s custom Rupert Neve
Designs transformer-coupled discrete Class-A outputs.
GND LIFT
This rear-panel slide switch allows the user to isolate XLR Output Pin 1 from chassis ground. This is useful for trouble-
shooting ground loops, if they arise in a studio configuration.
