Thank you for purchasing the Grace design model 201 microphone preamplifier. It is built to be completely reliable and easy to use. However, there are some important instructions included in this manual. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the installation and operation of the unit and most problems will be avoided. Regardless of what sources you plan to record, the model 201 will be the invisible link between the microphone and recorder. Grace Design has been building professi

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.) 4 . PHASE REVERSE The phase reverse switch (labeled ∅ ∅ ) reverses the absolute polarity 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 pro

level before the trim control, preamplifier overload can be avoided. It is best to leave the trim control fully clockwise for normal recording operations. . A . 1 . Input connections are made via female XLR connectors with pin 2 positive, pin 3 negative and pin 1 ground. 48V phantom power is supplied on pins 2 and 3. 2 . Output connections are made via male XLR connectors with pin 2 positive, pin 3 negative and pin 1 ground. If the output is to be used unbalanced, pin 1 should be connected to

In the event of noise from a ground loop, the audio ground can be isolated from the chassis ground by throwing the AUDIO GND switch on the rear panel of the preamplifier. (See paragraph 3) 2 . AC input voltage settings can be adjusted for 100V, 120V, 220V and 240V operation at 50-60Hz. From the

screws that hold each rack ear in place. After removing the rack ears replace the two lower screws on each side of the preamplifier. . A . The model 201 was designed to be maintenance free for many years. It is highly unlikely that your unit will require service. However, there are two adjustments that may need to be made from time to time. These procedures should be made only by a qualified service technician or the Grace Design factory. B . The peak LED threshold levels may be adjusted t

iv . Apply power to the generator, preamplifier, then the level meter. v . Adjust the generator output level so that the preamplifier output level is at the desired red threshold. If the proper level can't be reached, adjust the preamplifier gain control. vi . Locate VR1 on the channel 1 audio circuit board. (See figure 7) Adjust VR1 until the peak LED is between green and red. The color should appear amber when the setting is correct. vii . Repeat this procedure for channel 2. viii . If it i
