FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
1. POWER switch.
Two guesses ......
2. POWER indicator.
When this yellow LED is
lit
, the SM 26B is ready to go.
3. MASTER OUTPUT LEVEL control.
This controls the amount of signal at the
MIX OUTPUT
jacks. It does not affect the
level of any of the six
MONO OUTs
. This control changes the gain of the output stages. This allows an increase in head-
room to eliminate overloading due to excessive combined signal from one or more Inputs. Range of gain is from Off to 0dB
(unity). Refer to the block diagram in the
SM 26B Data Sheet
and/or schematics.
4. MONO INPUT LEVEL control.
Each of these controls the Level of signal through that particular channel. When fed from
the
MONO IN
jack, each stage has a gain range from Off to +12 dB minimum, allowing level matching of -10 dBV
equipment to +4 dBu gear. When fed via the
LEFT & RIGHT INPUT
(s), these
CHANNEL LEVEL
controls automati-
cally limit to a maximum of unity gain to accommodate the +12dB available from the Left & Right Input gain stages.
5. MIX/PAN controls.
These serve two different functions:
MIX
: When used as a SPLITTER, this controls the mix of Left and Right Master Input program to each Channel’s
MONO
OUTPUT
.
PAN
: When used as a MIXER, this control pans the Mono Channel Input between the
LEFT
and
RIGHT MIX OUTPUTS
.
6. MASTER INPUT LEVEL control.
This sets the gain of the Left & Right Master Input stages, with a range of Off to +12
dB. In the splitting mode, this controls the Level of all Mono Channel Outputs at once (i.e., those which do not have a
separate input).
