Firstly, let us congratulate you on your purchase of the DRSQ-4 mk2 Microphone Pre-
Amplifier/DI/Eq. The DRSQ-4 mk2is a 4 Band Gyratory-based Eq with 11 selectable
frequencies, and Mic, Line, and DI inputs We know you will be as pleased with it's sonic
qualities as we are.
You are now the proud owner of a Mic-pre/DI/Eq that has the advantages of more than 25
years experience in audio engineering, today's component and manufacturing technology, but
still retaining "that sound" uniquely achievable through Class A design.
As you can tell, Phoenix Audio is dedicated to the development of Class A discrete
technology used within high build-quality equipment.
The DRS-Q4 mk2 uses our well proven and loved Class A output stage (DSOP-2), but
also has our latest breakthrough in transformer-less Class A, Discrete, truly-balanced
Mic Input Technology which gives a "valve-like" sound. It also incorporates our high
input impedance DI circuitry.

The DRSQ-4 mk2is a 4 Band Gyratory-based Eq with 11 selectable frequencies, and Mic, Line, and DI inputs We know you will be as pleased with it’s sonic qualities as we are.
- Page 2 Noise: -90dB @ 20Hz to 20kHz. Output connections: XLR and TSR 1/4" Jack on rear Phoenix Audio’s unique Class A, transformer-less, True balanced Mic input stage. Microphone/Line input: XLR on Rear Panel DI inputs: _” TSR Jack on Front Panel Individual Earth Lift: Push-button Switches Gain Range (Mic input): -30 to -70 in 5dB steps With 10dB more available on the fader.
- Page 3 CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS Front Panel Rotary Gain Sensitivity Switch: The sensitivity switch operates in both Mic and Line Mode. For Microphone mode the switch’s gain range is marked from -30dB to -70dB. When the LINE switch is pressed in the sensitivity of the gain control is -30dB lower than the marked gain.
- Page 4 DRS-Q4 mk2 SETUP INSTRUCTIONS The DRS-Q4 mk2 has two LED’s to indicate level. These LED’s are connected to the OUTPUT of the unit, NOT the mic-pre section. This makes the LED’s indication much more useful for setting up levels on the Mic-Pre and the DI, and to give you a clear view of what level is being sent to external equipment.
- Page 5 Additional Setup Information Firstly, unlike a lot of mic-pre's, the yellow LED is not a warning that the output of the unit is clipping. It is purely there to indicate +8dB output level. The DRS units were originally fitted with a Green LED (0dB) and a Red LED (+8dB), but we found that the Red LED was making users believe that the unit was clipping (Red = danger = clipping) which was NOT the case, so this was changed to a Yellow LED in later models so that users tended to not regard it as a "Clipping"...
- Page 6 Each of the four EQ bands has 16db cut and boost so its very powerful and each click of the detented pots will equate to around 1.5db in either cut or boost. How they are used in application settings could be like this : Vocals : Boost at 15k to inject some air into the vocal Boost at either 800hz or 400hz...
