5.1 Using the SM PR8
It could not be simpler to use and operate the SM PR8. Each of the eight pre-amplifier channels
has its own input and output and variable gain control.
Three steps:
1. Simply connect a signal for processing to one of the XLR balanced inputs on the front of
the SM PR8.
2. Make a connection from the corresponding channel output on the rear of the SM PR8 to
your desired destination (Mixer, recorder, etc).
3. Adjust the variable gain control to the desired pre-amplified level. To ensure sure you do
not over pre-amplify your signal a peak clip indicator light has been provided on the front
panel of the SM PR8 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.
