mV RMS (±20 mV peak) when the unit is
in the buffered mode. In either mode, the
input is clamped at about 350 mV RMS
(±0.5 V peak). Care should be taken when
the unit is used in the bypassed mode,
since a ±0.5 V peak input becomes ±50 V
at the output.
In the buffered mode, the OVERLOAD
indicator will light when the preamplifier
overloads. An overload that occur after
the preamplifier will be indicated by the
