• SIG indicates that a signal is present
on the channel. It illuminates when
the signal level exceeds -24dBu.
• +4 illuminates when the signal
reaches operating level of +4 dBu.
• OL illuminates when the signal level
exceeds +26 dBu, which is 5 dB below
the overload point for the P-SOLO
• Note that the overload level of the
P-SOLO
output*. This level exceeds the input
capability of some devices (check
manufacturer's specifications). In
such cases it is appropriate to use
the intermediate level indicators (+4,
+12) to set the maximum output
level of the P-SOLO
match the maximum input capability
of the connected device. In other
words, it is possible to cause overload
distortion in the connected device
even though the P-SOLO
indicator does not show a red light.
* Maximum output level in the INP AT-
TEN mode is +27dBu.
The HIGH GAIN
selector sets the gain to a 6dB higher
range to accommodate quiet signals
and/or lower output ribbon micro-
phones. When the indicator is illumi-
nated, the gain range is 21.5dB to 76dB.
In the INP ATTEN mode, the P-SOLO
is set to a fixed gain of 12dB. The
INP ATTEN mode affects both mic and in-
strument inputs.

is used to set the appropriate gain
range. Normal microphone gain range
is 15.5 dB to 70 dB. For very hot signal
sources, the GAIN Control can be set to
the INP ATTEN mode. The GAIN Control
will "click" into this position as the knob
is turned fully counterclockwise. In the
INP ATTEN mode, the P-SOLO
set to a fixed gain of about 6dB. The INP
ATTEN mode affects both mic and instru-
ment inputs.
The INSTRUMENT Input (DI)
is used for connection of electric instru-
ment pickup or synthesizers. The DI we've
designed for the P-SOLO
to
es (or exceeds) the sonic performance
of acclaimed, dedicated DI products. It
provides excellent articulation and con-
trol for electric/acoustic bass, detail and
smoothness for stringed instruments and
level
keyboards. A microphone plugged into
MIC IN will be automatically de-selected
when an instrument is connected to the
INSTRUMENT input. Settings for GAIN
and HPF apply to the DI input in the same
manner as they apply to mic input. The
gain range for the direct inputs is from -4
dB to +50 dB at normal gain and -14 dB
in the INP ATTEN mode.
NOTE: The INSTRUMENT input is for un-
balanced sources only. DO NOT use a TRS
(balanced) plug for this input, as the DI
will not function correctly.
