Preamp - Neumann.Berlin MT 48 Instruction Manual

Preamp

Pressing the PREAMP button in the alternate mixer view opens the PREAMP page .
Alternatively, the preamp (as well as many other functions) can be accessed by pressing on the
channel name . This opens a menu; select PREAMP .
Each preamp has a gain knob as well as several additional functions .
• MIC/LINE (Inputs 1+2) switches between Microphone and Line mode . INST/LINE (Inputs
3+4) switches between Instrument and Line mode .
• PAD (Mic mode only) allows to attenuate the input signal by 12 or 24 dB to accommodate
high input levels .
• CUT mutes the input .
• Ø reverses the polarity of the input signal (often called "phase reverse")
• LOW CUT activates a filter to combat rumble . The cut-off frequency is selectable: 40/60/80
Hz . Please note that the low cut filter always affects the recorded signal, even on the Pre-FX
driver channels .
• 48V (Mic mode only) activates 48 Volts phantom power for condenser microphones (and
other microphones with active electronics)
• GAIN is adjusted by selecting the gain knob and then turning the Rotary Controller . It's good
practice to leave at least 10 dB headroom . The Meter in the middle has a peak hold function,
which can be reset by tapping the Meter section .
For stereo operation, two channels can be linked by pressing on the chain symbol above the
level display . Any offset in the gain setting is maintained, which allows you to compensate dif-
ferences in sensitivity .
Settings can be locked by clicking on the lock symbol next to the gain knob .
Tip: You can go to the neighboring channels' preamp page by swiping to the left or right .
