PREAMP SECTION

Settings for measurements unless otherwise noted:

Pad = passive (out) Bright = Normal (out) Low Cut = Normal (out) Pre Gain = 2

Post Gain = 10 Contour = 0 Low = 0 High = 0

Parametric Band 1: cut/boost = 0; bandwidth = 0; frequency = 12 o’clock Parametric Band 2: cut/boost = 0; bandwidth = 0; frequency = 12 o’clock Parametric Band 3: cut/boost = 0; bandwidth = 0; frequency = 12 o’clock Master Volume = 5

Line Out Level = 10 (fully clockwise)

Input Sensitivity (level to achieve full power):

With Pad out:

Nominal input: 100 mV RMS

Minimum input: 5 mV (pre gain @ 10)

Maximum input: 2.0 V (pre gain @ 1) With Pad -10 dB in:

Nominal input: 316 mV RMS

Minimum input: 16 mV (pre gain and master fully CW)

Maximum input: 6.3 V (pre gain @ 1)

Equalization:

Bright Boost: +8 dB @ 5.5 kHz

Low Cut: -3 dB @ 125 Hz

Contour: Set @ 10 provides +4 dB @

35 Hz; -30 dB @ 400 Hz; +4 dB @ 5.5 kHz

Low: +/-15 dB @ 20 Hz; Shelving type EQ

High: +/-15 dB @ 5 kHz–20 kHz; Shelving type EQ
