UP-AND-RUNNING IN A HURRY
1. Read the "SAFETY and OPERATING
PRECAUTIONS" on page 2 of this man-
ual.
2. Check the voltage selector on the rear
panel to make sure it is set for the ap-
propriate AC mains voltage in your
area.
3. After making sure the main power
switch is off, connect the AC power
cord.
4. Connect output signal cables between
P-SOLO
the analog line level input of your re-
corder, mixer, signal processor, etc. Use
either the 1/4" TRS or XLR balanced
output connectors. See the section
"Connections" for wiring details.
5. Connect a mic cable (and mic) to MIC
IN connector on the rear panel.
6. Turn on the AC power.
7. Adjust GAIN control for adequate sig-
nal level as indicated on the P-SOLO
indicators of the device to which it is
connected.
8. If necessary, select HIGH GAIN mode
for an additional 6dB of gain.
If you're using the DI for electric in-
strument input:
1. Connect your instrument cables to
the INSTRUMENT (DI) connector on
the front panel. Any microphones
plugged into MIC IN will be auto-
matically de-selected NOTE: DO NOT
use TRS plugs for these inputs, as
the DI will not function correctly.
2. Adjust GAIN control for adequate sig-

nal level as indicated on the P-SOLO
level indicators or on the level
indicators of the device to which it is
connected.
A Word about Cables ...
Most users of the P-SOLO
invested much time and money in their
selection of microphones and pream-
plifiers. We recommend that you give
some consideration to the microphone,
instrument and output cables you select,
as well.
• Use high quality, low capacitance
cable. Braided shielding and "star
quad" type mic cables will perform
better in electrically noisy environ-
ments. Manufacturers such as Canare,
Mogami (and others) make high
performance cable of this type.
• Some "house brand" cables are made
by quality manufacturers, but others
can be inferior. Be careful. Use cables
with highquality connectors (Neutrik,
Switchcraft, etc.).
• Our studio testing has shown that
some of the more esoteric guitar/
instrument "super-cables" do, indeed,
sound better. Noticeable improve-
ment, but at a stiff price. Try before
you buy!
• Avoid excessive cable length.
• Replace damaged connectors and
cables.
