  • Page 9: Input And Output Levels

    MCN AUDIO - U1127 - MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER INPUT AND OUTPUT LEVELS The maximum input level is 20.8 dBm. Above this level the input-protection-system limits the signal. In this mode the input impedance drops to about 200 Ohms. This system is designed to limit the transient that is cause when the microphones are connected or disconnected while the phantom power is active.
  • Page 10: Bandwidth

    BANDWIDTH ON Position When no low-cut filter is active, the bandwidth of the U1127 is deliberately very large, so as to minimize gain differences, phase rotations which normally occur at the end of the audible range. In this mode between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, gain remains constant with a +/- 0.005 dB tolerance and phase remains constant with a +/- 1 ˚...
  • Page 11: Phantom Power

    MCN AUDIO - U1127 - MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER PHANTOM POWER Phantom power integrated in the U1127 preamplifier can be switched to either 12 V or 48 V depending on the microphone used, or switched off altogether. The factory default is phantom power active and set to 48 V.
  • Page 12: Batteries

    MCN AUDIO - U1127 - MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER BATTERIES To replace batteries: • Open the battery compartment using a coin to turn the lock. • Remove the compartment lid. • Insert 8 1.5 Volt-LR6/AA/AM3-alkalin-batteries in the compartment. Place the ribbon beneath the batteries, it will aid the easy removal of the batteries.
  • Page 13: Battery Life

    Note that using the U8111 external power adapter does not recharge the batteries placed in the battery compartment. The power converter circuit inside the U1127 preamplifier has been designed to run normally until the batteries are completely drained. Thus, used batteries should not be left inside the preamplifier as the could leak and greatly damage the circuits of the preamplifier.

    MCN AUDIO - U1127 - MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER U8111 POWER ADAPTER The U8111 power adapter allows use of a U1127 preamplifier with an external power source. It is connected to the EXTERNAL POWER inlet on the preamplifier rear panel. It is not necessary to remove the batteries when the preamplifier is run on external power.
