Quick Start

This section is for those that just can't wait to get started. This
Distribution Amplifier has a powerful feature not found on most
DA's – Output assignment switches. If your application calls
for a single channel set-up with one Input driving all Outputs,
set all of the switches to the appropriate Input (A or B). To mix
both inputs, set them all to A+B. In this mode, both Inputs drive
all Outputs with the Inputs summed. The MASTER LEVEL
controls set the input level. Occasionally blinking OL indicators
are okay. The individual OUTPUT LEVEL controls set the level
for each Output channel.
For a stereo application, decide how the stereo Outputs are to
be assigned and set the assignment switches accordingly. Eight
stereo outputs are possible.
Set the back panel switches for either LINE or MIC Inputs.
When using microphones that require a "phantom" voltage, turn

on the PHANTOM POWER switch, illuminating its rear panel
LED. Because the phantom voltage is applied to both Inputs,
don't mix phantom powered and non-phantom powered mics in
the same DA 216S. Never engage the phantom voltage when using
an unbalanced mic—doing so may damage the mic. If the mic is
too "hot", press the INPUT GAIN switch in to reduce the gain
by 20 dB. Incidentally, the INPUT PAD switch reduces the gain
40 dB when in the LINE position (pressed in). When using the
Inputs for line-level, pressing in both the INPUT PAD and the
INPUT GAIN switches provides a nominal gain of 0 dB. An
additional 16 dB of gain is available when both the MASTER
LEVEL and OUTPUT LEVEL controls are turned all the way
up (clockwise).
The internal universal supply allows operation in almost any
part of the world. All that is required in different countries is the
correct IEC line cord.
