In ribbon mode the gain range is 28dB to 74dB in 2dB steps. B bi-color LED peak indicator The LED peak indicator, which monitors the output signal level, turns green at -14dB and switches to red at +16dB (12dB before clipping). The threshold level for peak indication is adjustable on each channel (see the calibration section of this manual). C input mode switch The input mode switch is used to select between the various types of inputs available with the m201, including standard 48V, ribbon mic mode, HI-Z, or the optional 130V DPA™ inputs. Refer to the m201 block diagram at the end of this manual for signal routing details. D 48V phantom power switch The phantom power switch (labeled +48V) connects the +48V power supply to pins 2 and 3 on the XLR input connector. This switch illuminates red. It should be noted that the LED in this switch actually monitors the phantom power voltage at the input. With no microphone connected, the LED will continue to illuminate for approximately 10 seconds after the phantom power is turned off as the filter capacitors discharge. As well, even if the phantom power is switched off, the LED will illuminate if voltage is being fed from an external source. (i.e. when using a direct split in a remote recording application.) Also, the +48V switch is used to activate the +130V DPA™ mic power if this option is installed. E polarity reversal switch The polarity reverse switch reverses the absolute phase of the music signal at the input of the preamplifier. The switch illuminates green and provides power for a sealed gold contact relay located on the preamplifier circuit board. This eliminates signal wiring to the front panel and switch contact performance problems. The polarity reverse function is active for all input connectors. F -20dB pad switch The 20dB attenuator switch attenuates the input signal 20dB. The switch illuminates amber when engaged. Like the phase reverse switch, this switch controls a sealed gold contact relay on the preamplifier circuit board. With the -20 switch engaged, the effective gain range becomes -2dB to 44dB. The 20dB attenuator is active for 48V Phantom, ribbon and (opt...
