Operating The C Valve - Samson C.valve C Class Owner's Manual

Operating The C valve

Setting up the C valve
Setting up your C Valve tube pre-amp is a simple procedure, which takes only a few minutes:
1. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and decide where the pre-amp is
to be physically placed. To avoid potential overheating problems, be sure that there is good ventilation around
the entire unit.
2. Plug the provided AC power adapter in the rear AC inlet, but don't plug the power pack into a wall outlet just
yet.
3. Set the controls to the following positions:
INPUT GAIN
LOW FREQUENCY
SATURATION
VOLUME
MIC/INSTRUMENT
48-VOLT
4. Using a standard XLR microphone cable, connect your microphone to the MIC input located on the rear panel.
If you are using an instrument like a guitar or bass guitar, use a standard 1/4-inch phone cable and connect the
instrument to the INST input located on the rear panel. For a detailed wiring guide, see page 16 in this manual.
5. Now, connect the rear panel output to your mixer or recorder.
