Speck Electronics MicPre 5.0 - Manual (Page 21)

In this section we hope to give you basic information on the
operation of the MicPre 5.0 and adequately describe its controls,
switches, and connectors.
The information in this section of the manual is intended to help
with the technical process when using your MP 5.0. Words alone
could not adequately describe how to adjust the controls for every
situation you might encounter with the MP 5.0. You should
experiment with settings and micing techniques to achieve the best
results for any particular situation. Your ears should be your best
gauge of how to adjust the settings on the MP 5.0 to make the
sound fit your requirements.
Before any attempt is made to operate the MP 5.0, it would be a
good idea to set all the controls to their neutral positions. This
gives you a reference point to work from when adjusting controls
and switches. The Gain, HP filter, and Mix level controls should
be set to their full counter-clockwise setting. The Trim and Mix
Pan controls should be set to their “0” center detented position. All
pushbutton switches should be set to the "Out" position.
When any future reference is made to the controls or switches of
the MP 5.0, is will be assumed that they have been set to their
neutral positions.
Use this signal flow diagram shown below (Figure 4) as a
reference when reading the descriptions of the controls and
connectors that follow in this chapter.
