Power Switch (3)

This rocker switch applies mains power to the Impulse 115P when in the ON position.

Power LED (4)

This LED illuminates when the preamp electronics receive power and when the Power Switch is in the On position.

Inputs (5)

The left (5a) and right (5b) channel input jack groups consist of a combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS connector and a male XLR running in parallel. This arrangement allows the audio input signal to be daisy- chained. In other words‚ you could hookup other power amps‚ powered speakers‚ more Impulse 115Ps or other devices. Unbalanced‚ left and right RCA-type input jacks (5c) are also provided for CD players or similar units. A mono switch (5d) feeds the left input to both channels when not running in stereo mode. The adjacent‚ yellow LED (5e) lights when the unit is placed in mono mode.

Master System Level (6)

When used in conjunction with the kosmos controls (7)‚ this knob controls the overall system gain (volume) of the Impulse 115P. The adjacent‚ red LED (11) indicates activation of the built in DDT compression. See number (11) below for more details on DDT compression.

kosmos (7)

The kosmos is a low-frequency energy and stereo imaging enhancement system that turns the minor shocks of an input signal into a sound that is off the Richter scale. And‚ it’s included in the Impulse 115P. The Quake/Sub level knob (7a) sets the powered subwoofer output and simultaneously sets the amount of kosmos Quake function. The Xpanse knob (7b) controls the amount of high frequency expansion applied to the high-pass outputs (8) or the speaker level outputs (9). The bypass switch (7c) bypasses the kosmos entirely. When in bypass mode‚ the Quake/Sub level knob sets the powered subwoofer level without any kosmos effect. The adjacent‚ blue LED (7d) lights up when the kosmos kicks in.

High-pass Output (8)

These left and right‚ line-level‚ high-pass filtered outputs are also controlled by the Master System Level control (6). They provide a 120 Hz high-pass output for a powered speaker system or a power amp and passively crossed over speaker system.

Speaker Level Powered Outputs (9)

The left and right speaker level outputs allow connection of a left and right‚ passive speaker system to provide a complete stereo sound reinforcement or DJ system. This signal is passively high-pass filtered to protect the speakers from excessive low bass.

Ground Lift Switches (10)

These switches provide for breaking ground loops on the input channels (10a) or the high-pass outputs (10b). Leave these in the normal position unless there is a need to break such a ground loop (i.e. unusual system hum or noise). They can be switched independently.

DDT LED (11)

This LED will light at the onset of clipping. If the LED is flashing quickly and intermittently‚ the unit is just reaching the clipping threshold. A steady‚ bright glow means the unit is clip-limiting‚ or reducing gain to prevent severely clipped waveforms from reaching the speakers. During initial power-up‚ the DDT LED will light‚ indicating the RampUp™ gain-reduction circuitry is activated.
