Using the Output Stage
Final adjustments to the output level can be made with the
'OUTPUT GAIN' control, again keeping an eye on the VU meter
and 'PEAK FSD' LED. Note how this control can also be used to
fade out the signal completely.
Troubleshooting
1) No Power (no lights work)
• Is the power supply plugged in (both ends)?
• Is the mains power on?
• Is the mains voltage set correctly for your region?
• Has the mains fuse blown?
2) The microphone doesn't work
• Is it connected to the XLR input on the front or rear panel?
• If a condenser microphone, is the phantom power switched on?
• Is the 'LINE' switch out (LED off)?
• Is the 'INPUT GAIN' control turned up?
• Is the 'OUTPUT GAIN control turned up?
• Is something plugged in to the 'INSTRument' jack?
3) The line input doesn't work
• Is the source connected to the correct (jack) input on the rear?
• Is the 'LINE' switch in (LED on)?
• Is the 'INPUT GAIN' control turned up?
• Is the 'OUTPUT GAIN' control turned up?
• Is something plugged in to the 'INSTRument' jack?
4) The compressor doesn't work
• Is the Compressor 'ON' switch in (LED on)?
• Is the 'COMPRESS' control turned up enough?
• Is the 'SLOPE' control turned up enough?
• Is there enough signal, as set by the 'INPUT GAIN' control, to
drive the compressor?
5) Too little or too much compression
• Turn the 'INPUT GAIN' control up or down respectively, to adjust
the signal level to the compressor
6) The Meequalizer doesn't work.
• Is the EQ 'ON' switch in (LED on)?
• Is 'INPUT GAIN' control turned up?
• Is 'OUTPUT GAIN' control turned up?
7) Too much noise
• Is the 'INPUT GAIN' control too high? Try moving the mic closer
to the source
• Is the 'OUTPUT GAIN' control set too high (for example when
lots of compression is being used)?
• Is there too much EQ boost?
• Is the noise already present in the input signal? (Try removing
the input)
8) Sounds distorted
• Is the 'INPUT GAIN' control too high?
• Is the 'OUTPUT GAIN' control too high?
• Is there too much EQ boost?
• When using the Compressor, is the 'RELEASE' control set too
low?
