Nº326S Preamplifier Controls & Modes
To adjust display intensity:
Press and release the front panel display intensity button or the
remote control display button to cycle through the four available
illumination levels.
Front panel display characters and the front panel standby LED
automatically adjust to the selected illumination level.
Polarity
Controls the polarity of the main output signal, whether that
signal is using the balanced (XLR) or single-ended (RCA) main
output connectors. The polarity control has no affect on the
record output signal.
To adjust main output signal polarity:
Press and release the remote control polarity button.
• When main output signal polarity is non-inverted, pressing
and releasing the polarity button inverts main output signal
polarity. The front panel polarity LED lights red to indicate
that main output signal polarity is inverted.
• When main output signal polarity is inverted, pressing and
releasing the polarity button restores main output signal
polarity to its non-inverted state.
Note
Experiment with main output signal polarity to determine
the best sound for individual recordings. The sound difference
between an inverted and non-inverted output signal ranges
from subtle to inaudible, depending on microphone technique
and other recording factors. In some cases, individual
recordings will just sound better one way than the other.
Balance
Controls the left-to-right channel balance of the main output
connectors, including the balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA)
main output connectors. The balance control has no affect on
the record output connectors.
