This is a start of a manual; it is to provide some information on what to do with the color controls. At 0db gain the maximum input and output levels are+24dbu, this allows the Europa 1 to be used for signal processing in a mix.

The level dependence is that same thing that happens with all vintage analog gear. This is not about making a color by adding a little LF boost or a little HF cut; it is changes in amplifier linearity. The microphone input has 3 input impedance choices which are 2.2K ohms for normal microphone operation, 300 ohm and a Hi-z choice for different microphone sounds.
