Each setting has been carefully put together to give you great sounding presets that really work, at the touch of a dial. It even features a 'Fat EQ' button to really fatten up and enhance your sound. Sweet! FEATURES Microphone Input: 3 pin XLR connector, with switchable phantom power. Gain range +16 to +60dB, plus 30dB pad switch. EIN -126dBu, 20Hz - 20KHz @ 60dB gain, Zin = 150 ohms. Maximum input level +30dBu (with pad) Line Input: 3 pole TRS 0.25” jack sockets, compatible with balanced and unbalanced inputs. Input Gain range: +/-20dB. Maximum input level with all gain controls @ 0dB: +18dBu. Maximum input level with Input Gain @ minimum: +26dBu. Hum and noise: -82dBu with compressor in and all gain controls @ 0dB Instrument Input: 2 pole 0.25” jack sockets, front panel mounted with chrome bezel, switchable to high or low gain Input Impedance: 1M ohm “Hi” input: Gain range -10dB to +30dB, maximum input level +6dBu “Lo” input: Gain range -26dB to +14dB, maximum input level +26dBu Output: 3 pole TRS 0.25” jack sockets, balanced (unbalanced compatible) Output Gain range: +15dB maximum Maximum Output level: +26dBu (balanced), +20dBu (unbalanced) Frequency Response: +0, -1dB: 20Hz to 20KHz, Line input @ 0dB gain, or mic input @ 40dB gain THD: Typically 0.2% at nominal level and 1KHz. Distortion is predominately even harmonic, increasing with tube “Drive” level Compressor: Threshold variable +10dB to -20dB, increasing compression as control turned clockwise. Ratio variable from 1:1.5 (gentle compression) to 1:30 (near limiting). Attack time switchable “Fast” (typically 0.5msec, but program dependant) and “Slow” (typically 5msec). Release time switchable “Fast” and “Slow” (typically 0.2sec and 1.5 seconds). Knee switchable “Hard” and “Soft”. Compressor “On” switch with LED FAT EQ: Applies preset “FAT EQ” curve of +4dB @ 90Hz, -2dB @ 800Hz and +2.5dB @ 10KHz. Overall loudness compensation Meter: Illuminated moving coil VU meter, switchable to Output Level or Gain Reduction. Calibrated for 0VU = +4dBu, plus 10dB pad switch effective on output level, for monitoring high output levels (0VU = +14dBu)
