Rear Panel Features

Please unfold and refer to the diagrams of the front and rear panels at the back

of the manual and refer to them as you read through the following explanations!

26 MAINS:

Connect a mains cord here.

CAUTION: Make sure you use an intact line cord with an grounded plug! Before

you power the preamp up, ensure the voltage value printed beside the mains

receptacle is the same as the current of the local power supply or wall outlet.

27 MAINS FUSE BOX:

Contains mains fuse (rear chamber) and a spare fuse (front chamber).

CAUTION: ALWAYS make sure replacement fuses are of the same type and have

the same ratings as the original fuse!

28 GROUND LIFT SWITCH

This switch severs the grounding circuit connecting the preamp's internal ground

to the wall receptacle's grounding. You can set the switch to GROUND floated

when you have connected a signal processor or power amp and you want to

prevent the two devices' ground circuits from creating a ground loop that

manifests itself in annoying humming.

CAUTION: If you're operating the preamp with a power amp or signal processor

that offers no direct connection between the internal ground and the outlet

ground, ensure this switch is set to the Ground position. Otherwise you may

encounter an irritating humming noise with a frequency of 50/60 Hz.

29 STEREO FREQUENCY CORRECTED LINE OUTPUT

This stereo ¼" jack serves as the output of the frequency-corrected line filter. It

delivers an unbalanced signal and it is equipped with a ground terminal. You can

patch the preamp signal routed through this jack to a recorder or a PC's audio

card via some type of adapter (depending on the type of inputs on the audio

card). Dial in the desired signal level via the Level knob (31).

30 OVEROAD

This LED illuminates to tell you the Line output is being overloaded. When it lights

up, back off the signal level using the Level knob.

31 LEVEL

This knob control the signal level of the frequency-corrected Line output. Use it to

adjust the preamp's Line output signal level to match the input gain of the mixing

desk's or recorder's input.

This knob lets you adjust levels from +3 dB to some -30 dB for very sensitive

inputs.
