MODEL 2032 FRONT PANEL DIAGRAM
A. Source determines which input the preamplifier section utilizes, either MIC or MI.
B. P48 applies 48V Phantom power to pins 2 and 3 of the mic INPUT XLR.
C. Gain sets the coarse gain in precise 5dB steps, from 15dB to 70dB.
D. Fine provides a continuously variable amount of gain, from �5dB to +5dB.
E. Filter regulates the high-pass filter mode of operation, optionally 40Hz, flat, or 100Hz.
F. EQ IN engages the parametric equalizer. No signal is present at the switch; it merely
controls a high quality signal relay.
G. Cut/Boost adjusts the amount of gain or attenuation for each equalizer band with a
guaranteed 0dB center position.
H. Frequency (outer ring) establishes the center frequency for each equalizer band. Lower
frequencies are counter-clockwise while higher frequencies are clockwise.
I. Q (inner knob) appoints the sharpness of a given cut/boost for each equalizer band. Wider
peaks/dips are counter-clockwise while more narrow peaks/dips are clockwise. LOW and
HIGH bands provide a SHELF mode of operation at the full-CCW detent.
J. The MI input jack furnishes a convenient unbalanced high impedance input. Tip is Ohot�,
sleeve is common; tip is shorted to common when no plug is inserted to minimize noise.
K. Phase reverses the preamplifier input signal polarity. No signal is present at the switch; it
merely controls a high quality signal relay.
L. The overload (OL) indicator monitors both the preamplifier and equalizer outputs to warn of
possible signal overload. This peak-responding LED is triggered at +24dBu, several dB
below actual clipping.
M. Insert splits the equalizer input from the preamplifier output for Independent or Inline Insert
configurations. No signal is present at the switch; it controls a high quality signal relay.
N. The POWER status LED indicates the presence of appropriate AC mains voltage at the rear
panel IEC inlet and correct internal DC supply operation. |
