–10dB to 40dB in 5dB steps. NOTE: If you ordered the high gain version of the 101 for use with ribbon microphones, the gain range of your unit on the microphone input is 20dB to 70dB in 5dB steps and the gain range of the instrument input is 0dB to 50dB in 5 dB steps.
CONNECTING THE PREAMPLIFIER AUDIO CONNECTIONS l Microphone input connections are made using the female XLR connector on the rear panel. This connector is wired with pin 2 positive, pin 3 negative and pin 1 ground. 48V phantom power, if used, is supplied on pins 2 and 3. l Instrument or line input connections are made using the ¼”...
TRS UNBALANCED OUTPUT CABLE TERMINATION POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS A 2.1mm jack is used for the DC power input of the 101. The polarity of the jack is positive in the center and ground on the outside. Included with your Model 101 is an AC adapter rated for 6VDC @ 800mA.
OPERATION SETTING THE GAIN l Turn the gain control fully counter-clockwise, turn the trim control fully clockwise and check that the +48V phantom power is off. l Connect the microphone to the preamplifier and then turn on the phantom power switch on if required. l When sending a signal to a recorder that has fixed input levels, simply increase the gain until the optimum recording level is reached.
