    Settings Matching the pick-up's electrical characteristic At the back of the PAM G2 (see section: "Overview back panel" on page 8) are six rotary switches for the basic configuration of both input chan- nels. The lower row is for the configuration of input 1, the upper row is for the configuration of input 2.

    Technical information 8.1 Design The construction is optimized magnetically and capacitatively. The signal paths have absolute minimum lengths with no harmful components like coupling capacitors, coils or relays. Input and output circuits are immune to negative influences of connected devices. Consequently, SMD minia- ture technology ensures optimized high frequency properties.
  • Page 20: Security Advice

    Important · Use only EPS G2 devices (with serial number 12.21.10 or higher) if your PAM G2 is powered by the optional external power supply. Noncompliance may cause damage to both units. · Avoid packaging material, especially plastic bags, coming into chil- dren's hands! ·...
