Signal Levels
It is important to supply the correct input levels to the console, otherwise signalto
noise ratio or distortion performance may be degraded; and in extreme cases,
damage to the internal circuitry may result. Likewise, on all balanced inputs avoid
sources with large commonmode DC, AC or RF voltages, as these will reduce the
available signal range on the inputs. Note that 0dBu = 0.775V RMS.
The microphone inputs are designed for use with balanced low impedance (150 or
200 ohms) microphones.
Caution!
DO NOT use unbalanced microphones or battery powered
condenser microphones without isolating the +48V phantom power:
degraded performance or damage to the microphone may result.
The sensitivity of the XLR inputs is variable from -2dBu to -70dBu and +10dBu to
-20dBu in two ranges (for +4dBu at the Mix outputs). The maximum input level is
+28dBu.
The Hi-Z inputs have a sensitivity variable b10dBu and -20dBu. The
maximum input level is +30dBu.
The main outputs of the console (stereo mix, groups, wedge and mix and group
insert sends) are balanced at a nominal level of +4dBu, with a maximum output
level of +26dBu.
The input insert sends and direct outputs are ground compensated at a nominal level
of -2dBu, with a maximum output level of +20dBu.
All external inputs and mix and group insert returns have a nominal level of +4dBu,
and a maximum input level of +26dBu.
Input insert returns have a nominal level of -2dBu, and a maximum input level of
+20dBu.
