In addition to both XLR and 1/4Ó TRS balanced outputs, the TP- 2 also features both optical and coaxial digital outputs (S/P DIF format) allowing it to interface with other digital equipment, or to serve as a stand alone AD converter.

1.INPUT 1, INPUT 2 jacks
These are balanced inputs that combine XLR jacks and 1/4Ó TRS phone jacks.
Unbalanced phone plugs may also be connected to the 1/4Ó jacks.
If you are using a condenser mic requiring phantom power, connect it to the XLR jack.

2.Phantom power switch/LED
This switch supplies +48V phantom power to condenser mics. The LED will light if +48V power is being supplied. Power is supplied only to the XLR jack. Turn this off (LED dark) if youÕre using a dynamic mic.
If a condenser mic is connected or disconnected with the phantom power switch on, damage to your equipment may occur. For this reason, always turn the phantom power switch off before connecting or disconnecting a condenser mic.
3.Phase switch
If you are inputting a stereo source from audio equipment in which the hot and cold pins are wired in reverse, the stereo image may be unsteady or cancellation may occur. By pressing this switch in, you can invert the phase of the input signal by 180 degrees to compensate.
4.Gain trim knob
This knob adjusts the input gain. If the PAD switch is on (pushed in), the range is +14 Ð Ð34 dBu. If the PAD switch is off, the range is Ð12 Ð Ð60 dBu.
5.Hi-Z switch
This switch changes the impedance level of the TRS phone jack to high impedance. It is on when the switch is pushed in. Turn this switch on when connecting a high output impedance device such as guitar or bass.
6.PAD switch
This switch lowers the level of the input signal by 26 dB. The pad is on when the switch is pushed in. When a line level input source is connected, turning the pad on will allow the gain trim knob to have a wider useful range of adjustment.
7.Compressor mode switch
This switch changes the compressorÕs response speed. Use the Fast setting for short sounds such as drums or percussion, and the Slow setting (press the switch in) for more sustained sounds, such as vocals.
8.Low cut switch
This switch activates a 70 Hz Ð6 dB/oct low cut filter.
Use this to reduce unwanted
9.Level meter
The meter shows the audio level. If the needle moves into the red area above 0 dB, this indicates that digital clipping is occurring.
Set the gain trim knob and the compressor sensitivity knob to prevent the needle from exceeding 0 dB.
Place the unit horizontally so that the level meters operate correctly.
The level meters indicate the level of the signal before it is sent to the output level faders.
10.Gain reduction LED
This LED will light when gain reduction is being applied by the compressor.
11. Compressor sensitivity knob
This specifies the audio level where the compressor begins to kick in. Turning the knob toward the right will increase the sensitivity, so that compression will be applied even at low levels.
If you donÕt want to apply compression, turn this knob all the way to the left.
