Instrument Gain (Instr Gain)
The Crimson also includes two identical instrument preamps. Use the Instr Gain control
to adjust the instrument preamp level.
The adjustable volume range spans from -6 to +31 dB. The possibility to reduce the gain
to -6 dB allows the connection of active electric bass guitars. To achieve the best record-
ing level, the -6 dB LED should flash from time to time: you have enough headroom left.
If the LED remains on, it means that the level is at the brink of overloading — in such
cases, you should reduce the Instr Gain value. The OVL LED indicates that the Crimson’s
AD-converter is overloading, which should be strictly avoided.
IMPORTANT:
Instrument inputs 3|4 have preference over Line Inputs 3|4.
IMPORTANT:
To record Line Inputs 3 and 4 or to listen to
a stereo signal through Line 3 and 4, noth-
ing should be connected to the instrument
inputs. If you cannot hear a line signal, check
whether a jack plug is inserted into an instru-
ment input.
