Using The Ins And Outs - Joemeek British Channel VC6Q User Manual

settings to achieve different sounds, but remember that when you add 'lift'
to HF, MF or LF, then you are adding audio gain to the signal and its
possible to overload the circuit. Always watch out for overloads and reduce
the input gain if this happens.

USING THE INS AND OUTS

MICROPHONE - The microphone input is an XLR connector. Preferably,
any microphone used should be balanced 200 ohm impedance although
with dynamic (not phantom powered) microphones this is less important.
Connections are
To avoid deafening 'clonks' try to remember to plug in capacitor
microphones before turning on the phantom power.
INPUT PAD - If the input signal at the microphone gets too high, it's
possible to switch in a 20dB pad to reduce the level.
INSTRUMENT OR LINE INPUT - NOTE; plugging into the ' instrument'
input disables the XLR mic input. This input is for line level unbalanced
signals from instruments or equipment. The 'LINE' input on the rear is
suitable for all balanced line level signals.
LINE INPUT SWITCH - selects the line input socket on the rear.
PHASE REVERSE SWITCH - reverses the phase of the British Channel
input amplifier when using XLR input.
INSERT POINT JACK SOCKET - This is used to insert another effect or
outboard equipment into the British Channel. The input amplifier output
appears on the tip of the 1/4 inch jack socket, the 'ring' is the return input.
When no jack is inserted, the socket is 'normalled' (internally linked).
OVERLOAD INDICATOR - If the audio signal gets close to maximum in the
input amplifier, a red 'overload' light comes on as a warning. It's normal to
see this light flicking on occasionally in normal use.
OUTPUTS - The two output sockets are 1/4 inch jack BALANCED low
impedance. The output may be unbalanced by using an unbalanced jack.

Pin 1 is ground or screen
Pin 2 is positive phase or 'hot'
Pin 3 is negative phase (or ground for unbalanced).
