TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC10040 41 Quick Start Guide

TUBE ULTRAGAIN MIC100 Controls

(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.
