True Manufacturing Company PRECISION 8i operation manual Precision, P R E C Is Io N, Peak

PRECISION 8i OPERATION MANUAL

activates at peak level minus 6 dB. Generally, the PEAK REFERENCE selector is set for the maximum level you want to present to your mixing console, recorder, etc. Depress RESET 10 to clear PK.

NOTE: Only the OL light indicates impending preamp overload. The red PK light simply indicates that the signal has exceeded the level selected on the PEAK REFERENCE switch.

Note that the overload level of the PRECISION 8i is +31dBu at the output. This level exceeds the input capability of some devices (check manufacturer’s specifications). In other words, it may be possible to cause overload distortion in the connected device even though the PRECISION 8i level indicator does not show a red light. We can provide accessory Output Attenuators in applications where this is necessary. Please consult the factory for assistance.

6Operating level indicator. The +4 indicator activates when the output level reaches

+4 dBu normal operating level. When the PEAK REFERENCE selector 9 is set to the -10 dBV position, the operating level indicator activates at -10 dBV output level.
