Bottom: DIP Switches

Output level adjustment
The DIP switches on the bottom of the unit give you the possibility
to increase the output level in multiple steps. This is something that
ought to be considered basically in two cases: when the input level
is very low and when using high-impedance and especially power-
hungry headphones.
By default, the normal setting is active, all switches point down to-
wards the numbers 1-6. The output level can be increased for all out-
puts in two steps: +12dB, +22dB and +24dB. Additionally, the RCA
input offers the possibility to bring the level from consumer level
(-10dBV, for CD players, for example) to professional level (0dBu).
IMPORTANT: If the level has been increased by +12dB, +22dB or
+24dB, this increment and the conversion of the RCA input to professi-
onal level will be summed (see 4.).
1. Increase of +12dB for all outputs: Switch 1 set to ON.
2. Increase of +22dB for all outputs: Switch 2 set to ON.
3. RCA input level conversion to professional level (-10dBV to 0dBu):
Switch 3 set to ON.
4. Example Summed Levels: +12dB increase for all inputs PLUS RCA
input level conversion to professional level (-10dBV to 0dBu): Switch 1
and 3 set to ON. The summing also works with Switches 2 and 3.
Phonitor 2 Insert Loop
The Insert Loop mode for the line input is a particularity of the Phonitor
2. Switch 4 allows you to route the input signal directly to the line out-
put without it being processed by the level or any other settings of the
Phonitor 2 (except for phase inversion). This mode is particularly inte-
resting when you do not want to use the Phonitor 2 as a preamp or mo-
nitor controller and the source signal ought to pass through unaltered.
Matrix activation for the XLR outputs
Switch 5 activates the Phonitor Matrix for the XLR outputs of the
Phonitor2 as well.
Switch 6 has no function.
