FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
GAIN CONTROL Each gain control has 11 positions and adjusts the voltage gain on the microphone input from 10dB to 60dB in 5dB steps. When using the instrument input, the gain range is
NOTE: If you ordered the high gain version of the 101 for use with ribbon microphones, the gain range of your unit on the microphone input is 20dB to 70dB in 5dB steps and the gain range of the instrument input is 0dB to 50dB in 5 dB steps.
TRIM CONTROL The trim control provides 10dB of continuously variable output attenuation. In the fully clockwise position the trim is at unity (no attenuation). In the fully
48V PHANTOM POWER This switch provides 48 volts to power condenser microphones. The phantom power switch (labeled +48) connects the +48V power supply to pins 2 and 3 on the XLR input connector.
PEAK INDICATOR The LED peak indicator, which monitors the signal between the input and output amplifiers, illuminates the green LED at
HIGH PASS FILTER (labeled HPF) Sometimes referred to as a bass
POWER SWITCH The power switch connects power from the DC input connector to the preamplifier circuitry. When depressed, the amber POWER LED will illuminate.
