The ACOUSTIC ARRAY

MIC CHANNEL

MIC INPUT – This jack is a balanced XLR microphone level input which contains an "RFI" filter (radio frequency
interference) to eliminate unwanted noise. It also provides IEC P12(L) phantom power (12 volt) which works well with
most phantom powered microphones found in the live sound industry. (Please consult your microphone's specifications
sheet for its phantom power requirements.) If a microphone requiring a higher voltage is to be used then an appropriate
external phantom power supply can be added in line.
NOTE – To prevent audible pops and unwanted noises, it is recommended that you turn down the PREAMP VOLUME on
the MIC channel anytime you are connecting to or disconnecting from the MIC inputs.
CLIP LED – This LED shows the operating status of the preamp channel and EQUALIZATION stages. When this LED
flashes, clipping of the preamp channel or EQUALIZATION stages is occurring or about to occur. Adjusting the PREAMP
VOLUME or the relevant EQUALIZATION controls down will remove the clip condition. Adjust the final overall volume
with the amp's MASTER VOLUME.
PREAMP VOLUME – This control sets the preamp's input volume level for the MIC input.
EQUALIZATION – The MIC channel contains an active 2 band equalizer.
LOW:
HIGH:
EFFECTS – The MIC channel has its own REVERB level control that allows the user to set the desired amount of Reverb
effect. The decay time for the reverb effect is controlled by the REVERB TIME control in the MASTER SECTION.
INST CHANNEL
INST INPUT – This jack is a standard ¼" unbalanced instrument input. The INST input stage contains an FET input
buffer circuit with an input impedance of 5 Meg ohms, a 40 Hz active high pass filter, and an "RFI" filter to eliminate
unwanted noise.
CLIP LED – This LED shows the operating status of the preamp channel and EQUALIZATION stages. When this LED
flashes, clipping of the preamp channel or EQUALIZATION stages is occurring or about to occur. Adjusting the PREAMP
VOLUME or the relevant EQUALIZATION controls down will remove the clip condition. Adjust the final overall volume
with the amp's MASTER VOLUME.
