6.1 Using the SM PR8E
It could not be simpler to use and operate the SM PR8E. Each of the eight pre-amplifier channels
has its own input, output and variable gain control.
Four simple steps:
1. Simply connect a signal for processing to one of the combo connector inputs on the front of
the SM PR8E. You can use XLR or TRS jack connectors.
2. Make a connection from the corresponding channel output on the rear of the SM PR8E to
your desired destination (Mixer, recorder, etc).
3. Adjust the variable gain control for your chosen channel on the front panel to the desired pre-
amplified level.
To ensure sure you do not over pre-amplify your signal a peak clip indicator light has been pro-
vided on the front panel of the SM PR8E for each channel. When illuminated, this light indicates
that the pre-amplifier is overloaded and that distortion will occur. Please turn down the variable
gain control for the currently selected channel until the peak clip light is no longer illuminated.
4. Phase reversal? In some situations it is handy to be able to reverse the phase of the outgoing
audio signal. If you think you may need to reverse the phase, simply toggel the channels phase
reverse switch on the rear panel.
Congratulations, now you know how simple it is to get great results from your new microphone
pre amplifier.
Simple connectivity - Simple operation - great results.
