MASTER CONTROL The huge sound and versatility of the D-180 is due in part to the unique way its Master control works, and that function is the topic of one of the patents pending on D-180 technology. Ordinarily the Master is merely a volume control used to reduce gain and provide proper coupling between the preamp and power amp sections.

With the Blend knob set at 10, all signal will pass through the accessory effects; set at 5, about half of the D-180 signal will pass through the effects and half will go direct. Set at 0, the effect patch points are fully bypassed. Zero is the recommended setting when no effects devices are patched into the loop.

Signal is taken right from the speaker terminal - so that it captures the full sound of the D-180 - then it is linked through the Slave Level Control to both the Slave Out jack and the 600 ohm Balanced transformer and XLR connector. This enables precise level matching for best sound and lowest noise where any variety of receiving electronics might be used - from additional power amplifiers to mixing boards.
