Always turn the SOLO/PHONES LEVEL con- trol down before you put the phone on. Then advance it for best levels with a typical sound source. Engineers who fry their ears find themselves with short careers.

You can also use the PHONES output to in-

INPUT

dependently drive a separate tape recorder,

PA system or studio monitor amp. Instead of

OUTPUT

using a low-cost “headphone amp” chip, we

POD

use a high-current version of our main output

 

 

amplifier circuity — which is why it can re-

 

ally clean out your cochlea if you crank it up

 

too far. But that’s also what makes it a very

 

clean signal source that’s, in fact, identical to

 

the quality of the other outputs (see APPLI-

 

CATIONS GUIDE for various hookups which

 

use the PHONES output).

 

NOTE: When you press any SOLO button, a

 

slight click will be heard in the headphones

 

when a solo switch is activated.

 

16 SOLO/PHONES LEVEL
171/LEFT 2/RIGHT(MAIN OUTPUT LEVEL FADERS)

This gallant team stands guard over your precious main output level. They prefer to be stationed below or at the “U” (Unity) setting.

The outputs on the other end are capable of delivering up to +28dBm. Many amplifiers or other equipment inputs will go into clipping before that. Consult the specs on your amplifier/device. You may have to keep the CR-1604’s Main and Phone faders below the Unity gain level.

18LEVEL

This 10-segment meter reflects the “unbal- anced” output signal strength at the left and right main outputs.

•

When the meter shows “0”, the unbalanced

 

output level is 0dBu (0.775 VAC RMS).

•

Remember that “balanced” output levels

 

are 6dB hotter than the level indicated on

1/LEFT 2/RIGHT

This control adjusts the Solo and Headphone levels simultaneously. The control range is from off to loud enough to cause a frontal lobotomy

(see warning on the previous page). Be-

cause SOLO/ PHONES LEVEL is completely independent of the Master Faders, you can use it to preview your mix before fading up the main outputs.

CAUTION: To avoid speaker dam- age, this control should never be set higher than the Main Output (1/LEFT 2/ RIGHT) level prior to activating the SOLO TO MAIN button.

the bar graph meter.

LBNC LAMP CONNECTOR

The CR-1604 includes a socket and power supply for a 12-volt goose-neck lamp. We recommend LittleLite lamps PN #12G or 12G-HI (with high-intensity bulb). Consult your dealer for the gory details.

NOTE: When the CR-1604 has been “Roto- podded” (pod jack to the front) the BNC lamp connector becomes inaccessable.

This concludes our guided tour of the CR-1604’s controls. After a short intermission, we will re-board the bus (HA! Get it? Pun? bus......? Oh well.) and explore the CR-1604’s

input/output “pod.”
