The phantom power required for condenser microphones can be activated with
the 48V switch.
If phantom power is on, the 48V LED lights up blue.
IMPORTANT:
Use phantom power only for condenser microphones. For all other microphone types – especially
ribbon micorphones – switch off the phantom power!
Use the Mic Gain switch to adjust the preamplification gain in 2 to 7dB steps.
The Output Gain controls the output level from -10 to +10dB.
With the OUTPUT switch the signal can be completely switched off.
The polarity of a microphone signal can be inversed (180°) with the Polarity
Inversal switch.
The High Pass switch activates a high pass filter with 3dB per ocatve at 120 Hz.
If the input signal is too hot, switch on PAD. This reduces the level by 20dB.
You can make the VU Meters less sensitive by activating the VU -10dB switch.
Power down
Switch off mains on the back of the Crescendo
duo
(Off = O).
The VU Meter no longer light up.
