Preamplifiers
The Track One is equipped with two preamps:
a microphone preamp with 48V phantom power and a sepa-
rate instrument preamp. Both are tuned to a sound-neutral,
open and transparent characteristic.
Gain
The gain control can be used to adjust the preamplification. For
microphone signals, a preamplification of up to 63 dB can be
realized. When optionally equipped with an input transformer,
approximately +14 dB must be added to the scaled values.
The control range for line signals ranges between -12 dB and +22 dB. The control range for
instrument signals ranges between 0 dB and +35 dB.
Line/Inst
Track One Mk3 offers the possibility to connect instrument
or line signals. The Line/Inst switch can be used to switch
between the Instr/Line input (switch is illuminated) and the
microphone input.
Instruments and sources with line level can be connected to
the rear input Instr/Line. The Instrument / Line switch is used
for level and impedance matching of instrument and line

signals.
When connecting low impedance line signals, the switch should be pressed.
TS
When connecting high-impedance instrument signals, the switch should not be pressed.
Mic
INPUT
The clip LED "CLIP" lights up as soon as an overload is detected
in the device. The indicator picks up at all relevant points of the
signal flow: behind the preamp, behind the compressor, behind
the equalizer and behind the output control.
