Front Panel Functions 

 

 

1. 

Isolated Outputs

 – two identical transformer balanced outputs featuring high 

voltage isolation, for use as broadcast or recording feeds or wherever 
independent outputs are  required.  These connections are wired as follows :- 
Pin 1 = No Connection, Pin 2 = Hot, Pin 3 = Cold. 

2. 

As Above

3. 

Gain Switch

 – sets the channel gain to +10dB, +20dB, +30dB, +40dB or 

+50dB. See Mic/Line switch below. 

4. 

Mic/Line

 – when in the ‘Line’ position the input is padded by 20dB and the input 

impeadance changes to >10k Ohms. 

5. 

48V 

– when selected applies 48V phantom power to the input XLR, for 

condenser microphones or D.I. boxes. The LED is lit when active. 

6. 

Meter

 – 5 segment level meter showing the level below clipping. Note: the red 

LED lights up 6dB’s below actual clipping with a sine wave. 

7. 

Listen

 – when selected the channel will be summed on to the ‘Solo’ bus, which 

is routed to the headphone socket and ‘Solo Out’ XLR. 

8. 

Pad (-10dB)

 – indicates 48V phantom power detected on the output ‘Mon’ XLR, 

which will automactically switch in a 10dB pad on the channel. 

9. 

Headphone Level

 – controls the level of the headphone output. 

10. 

Headphone Socket

11. 

Power

 – power indicator.
