(1) Use the POWER SUPPLY CONNECTOR
to hook up the enclosed power
supply unit. Next to this connector
you’ll nd the strain relief clamp,
whichprevents accidental release of
the power supply.
(2) This is the balanced XLR OUTPUT of
your MIC100. Use this connector to
feed the XLR input of your mixing
console, multitrack recorder or
poweramp.
(3) The balanced ¼" TRS OUTPUT of
your MIC100 can also be connected
to either mixer, recording system or
power amp.
(4) The balanced ¼" TRS INPUT of your
MIC100 can be used to connect your
electric guitar, for example. This input
is wired parallelly to the XLR input.
(5) Use the balanced XLR INPUT to
connect your microphone.
In contrast to its outputs,
the MIC100’s inputs should never
be used simultaneously!
(6) The GAIN control allows applying
gain from +26 to +60 dB to the
input signal. This control should be
set fully counterclockwise when
(dis)connecting a sound source to
the MIC100. When all connections
aremade, slowly start raising gain.
(7) We recommend using the LED
meter to adjust gain. The LED chain
displays the output signal level in
dB. Pleasemake sure that the clip
LED never lightsup permanently.
Itshould light up only at peak signals,
butnever allthe time.
(8) If your MIC100 is connected to the
mains via the enclosed power supply
unit, the POWER LED lights up to
indicate that your MIC100 is running.
(9) The 20 dB PAD button reduces
the input sensitivity by 20 dB.
Theappropriate setting depends on
the equipment connected. No matter
what your application is, the clip LED
warns you to reduce the gain setting,
so as to avoid distortion.
(10) This +48 V switch activates
the phantom power supply for
the XLR input. Phantom power
supply is required for operating
condensermicrophones.
(11) With the PHASE REVERSE switch,
the input signal is reversed by 180°.
This function is available for both mic
and line signals. Use this function
in a multi-microphone setup if you
detect phase cancellations in specic
frequency bands.
(12) Use the LIMITER switch to limit the
signal and to prevent distortion.
(EN) Controls
(13) The OUTPUT control governs the
output level of the device within a
range from -∞ to +10 dB.
If the control is set fully counter-
clockwise, there is no output
signal at all. The more the control
is set clockwise, the higher the
outputlevel.
