Switch On The power switch is on the left side of the case. Toggle it backward to switch on the Model 2221 and forward to switch it off. The Microphone Bias Voltage LED flashes for 40 seconds while the bias voltage stabilizes.
Microphone Bias Voltage The bias voltage should be set to The microphone bias voltage is either On, providing a zero when using a prepolarized highly stable level of 200 Vdc, or Off. Pressing the (electret) microphone and 200 V MICROPHONE BIAS key when using traditional...
If no further overloading is indicated, this should be a good setting. If using the Model 2221 for repeatable non-steady signals, such as recording the output during a machine cycle, it is recommended to make several test runs in order to find the highest gain setting which does not produce an overload during the complete measurement period.
