To use only the preamp of the Pro Channel
: Plug a mic, instrument, or line level signal
into either of the Input Jacks. You can use either of the following for an output:
• Plug the output from the Preamp Send jack into the input of the next piece of gear, or
• Bypass the compressor and equalizer circuits and connect either of the Output Jacks
to the input of the next piece of equipment.
To use only the compressor circuit of the Pro Channel
: Plug a line level signal (or a send
from a mixer) into the Compressor Return Jack. Connect the Compressor Send jack to
the input of the next piece of equipment (or the return of a mixer).
To use only the equalizer circuit of the Pro Channel
: Plug a line level signal (or a send
from a mixer) into the EQ Return Jack. Connect either output from the Pro Channel
into the input of the next piece of equipment (or the return of a mixer).
To place the equalizer circuit before the compressor circuit
: Connect the Preamp Send
to the EQ Return. Connect the unbalanced Output to the Compressor Return. Use the
Compressor Send as the main output to the input of the next piece of equipment.
Don’t forget that it is possible to use each section of the Pro Channel on a separate
track. For example, the bass track can run through the compressor, the vocal track
through the preamp, and the guitar track through the EQ – all at the same time!
Applications
The main application of the Pro Channel is as a processing channel for a microphone,
instrument or line level source. To use the Pro Channel as a mic or line preamplifier
only, simply press the Bypass switches to bypass the compression and equalizer
circuitry. Plug a microphone directly into either input and set the input and output
controls to provide an appropriate level into the next stage of your system. The Pro
Channel is ideal for use as a DI box. Plug the instrument into either input and use the
XLR, 1/4, or both outputs to connect to your recorder, board, or PA system.
Experiment with different input level settings for different textures.
In most cases the Pro Channel offers superior performance to the on-board preamp on
your console. To use the Pro Channel instead of your on-board preamp, simply connect
the output of the Pro Channel to the line input of your mixer’s input channel. Note: you
can connect the XLR output jack of the Pro Channel to the XLR input of your mixer,
however most affordable mixers do not allow you to bypass their internal preamp when
using the XLR jack. You will cause no harm to either unit when doing this but you will
probably experience slightly higher noise. This is due to the fact that you are now
preamplifing your mixer’s preamp.
Note: Be certain that you do not
connect the Pro Channel’s XLR Output to a mixer
input that has Phantom Power applied.
The Pro Channel has enough gain to be used in front of a power amplifier. To use the
Pro Channel as an instrument preamp, simply plug the instrument into the Input jack
and connect the Output jack to the input of the power amplifier. See Loop Connections
for further hook-up options and for using the Pro Channel’s individual sections.
