7 MINIMIC MIC800 User Manual (10) TUBE MODELING control: To adjust the amount of tube warmth that the MIC800 adds to the input signal, turn this control toward COLD (minimum setting, no warmth) or toward HOT (maximum warmth). For details about tube warmth, see (2) VTC LED. (11) OUTPUT LEVEL control: To adjust the level of the output signal, turn this control toward -∞ dB (no output signal) or toward +10 dB (maximum level). (12) VU meter: To monitor the average level of the output signal, use this vintage style meter, which includes a dB scale. Because the standard operating level for audio equipment is 0 (zero) dB, this is the optimal level for the output signal. At 0 dB, the MIC800 still has approximately 15 dB of headroom. 2.3 Rear panel This section describes how to use the rear panel to set up the MIC800. ◊ Before you set up the MIC800, turn off the MIC800. In addition, turn the INPUT GAIN control to +26 dB (minimum setting). The following illustrates the rear panel of the MIC800: (17) (13) (14) (15) (16) Fig. 2.2: MIC800 rear panel In the previous illustration, each control element is associated with a callout, for example (1). In the following section, use these callouts to quickly identify details about each control element: (13) POWER connector: To power the MIC800, connect the power supply unit to this connector. The power supply unit is delivered with the MIC800. ◊ When you finish using the MIC800, unplug the power supply unit from the power source. As long as the power supply unit is connected to a power source, the power supply unit consumes energy. (14) OUTPUT LINE connector: To output an audio signal from the MIC800, use this ¼" TS (unbalanced) connector. As the previous illustration shows, the MIC800 includes 2 input connectors ((15) and (16)). ◊ It is not recommended to simultaneously use both input connectors. (15) INPUT LINE connector: To input a line-level signal to the MIC800, use this ¼" TRS (balanced) connector. The line-level signal must also be a mono signal. For details, see 2.1.1 MIC800 input. ◊ If the connector on the line-level source is balanced and you insert an unbalanced, ¼" TS plug, the signal level will decrease 6 dB. To raise the signal level, use the INPUT GAIN control ((5)). (16) INPUT MIC connector: To input a low-level signal to the MIC800, use this XLR (balanced) connector. The low-level signal must also be a mono signal. For details, see 2.1.1 MIC800 input. ◊ When you set up with a condenser microphone, do the following: a. Via the INPUT MIC connector, connect your condenser microphone to the MIC800. b. Mute all loudspeakers. c. To turn on phantom power, use the PHANTOM +48 V button. d. Wait several seconds for the phantom power to charge the condenser diaphragm. (17) SERIAL NUMBER: To register the MIC800, use this unique serial number. For details about audio plugs, see 4. Audio Connections.

TUBE MODELING control
: To adjust the amount of tube
warmth that the MIC800 adds to the input signal, turn this
control toward
COLD
(minimum setting, no warmth) or toward
HOT
(maximum warmth). For details about tube warmth,

OUTPUT LEVEL
control: To adjust the level of the output signal,
turn this
control toward -∞ dB (no output signal) or toward
+10 dB
(maximum level).
(12)
VU meter
:
To monitor the average level of the output signal,
use this vintage style meter, which includes a dB scale.
Because the standard operating level for audio equipment
is 0 (zero) dB, this is the optimal level for the output signal.
At 0 dB, the MIC800 still has approximately 15 dB of headroom.

Rear panel
This section describes how to use the rear panel to set up the MIC800.
◊
Before you set up the MIC800,
turn off the MIC800.
In addition, turn the INPUT GAIN control to +26 dB
(minimum setting).

In the previous illustration, each control element is associated with a
callout, for example
(1)
. In the following section, use these callouts
to quickly identify details about each control element:
(13)
POWER connector
: To power the MIC800, connect the power
supply unit
to this connector. The power supply unit is delivered
with the MIC800.
◊
When you finish using the MIC800, unplug the power supply
unit from the power source. As long as the power supply
unit is connected to a power source, the power supply unit
consumes energy.
(14)
OUTPUT LINE connector
: To output an audio signal from the
MIC800, use this ¼" TS (unbalanced) connector.
As the previous illustration shows, the MIC800 includes 2 input
connectors (
(15)
and
(16)
).
◊
It is not recommended to simultaneously use both
input connectors.
(15)
INPUT LINE connector
: To input a line-level signal
to the MIC800, use this ¼" TRS (balanced) connector.
The line-level signal must also be a mono signal. For details,
see 
2.1.1 MIC800 input
.
◊
If the connector on the line-level source is balanced and
you insert an unbalanced, ¼" TS plug, the signal level will
decrease 6 dB. To raise the signal level, use the INPUT GAIN
control (
(5)
).
(16)
INPUT MIC connector
: To input a low-level signal to the
MIC800, use this XLR (balanced) connector. The low-level signal
must also be a mono signal. For details, see
2.1.1 MIC800 input
.
◊
When you set up with a condenser microphone,
do the following:
a.
Via the INPUT MIC connector, connect your condenser
microphone to the MIC800.
b. Mute all loudspeakers.
c.
To turn on phantom power, use the PHANTOM +48 V button.
d.
Wait several seconds for the phantom power to charge the
condenser diaphragm.
