Channel Mute Switches and LEDs
Each PRE channel has a dedicated Mute switch 
to mute input signal. The respective Mute LED 
lights when muting is enabled.
Channel Select Switches and LEDs
These switches are used to “focus” one or more 
channels to adjust their controls. When lit 
(green), the Channel Select LED indicates that 
the channel’s controls can be adjusted.
To select multiple channels for adjusting, first 
press the Shift key on the left-hand side of the 
unit, then press the Select switches for corre-
sponding channels. To return to single channel 
selection, disengage the Shift key, then press the 
Select switch for the individual channel you 
wish to change.
The following channel controls can be adjusted:
• 48V Phantom Power; see “48V Switch and 
LEDs” on page 9.
• Phase Reverse; see “Phase Switch and 
LEDs” on page 9.
• Pad; see “Pad Switch and LEDs” on page 9.
• Insert; see “Insert Switch and LEDs” on 
page 9.
• High-Pass Filter; see “High-Pass Filter 
Switch and LEDs” on page 9.
• Mic/Line/Instrument Source Switching; see 
“Source Switch and LEDs” on page 8.
• Input Gain; see “Gain/Param and Input 
Gain” on page 15.
When PRE is powered off, channel select states 
are stored in memory and are subsequently re-
stored at power up.
Line/Inst 1 and 2
The front panel includes two 1/4-inch 
balanced/unbalanced TRS jacks, with Tip wired 
hot (or “+”), Ring cold (“–”), and Sleeve ground. 
These jacks mirror Line/Inst Inputs 1 and 2 on 
the back panel. Connecting to the front panel 
Line/Inst input will break a connection made to 
the respective back panel Line/Inst input.
Use these jacks for convenient access to high im-
pedance instrument inputs.
