Speck Electronics MicPre 5.0 - Manual (Page 24)

This switch is used to enable or disable the High Pass filter circuit.
In the “out” position, this switch completely bypasses all filter
circuitry. When this switch is depressed, the HP filter is enabled.
A yellow LED indicates the operation of the High Pass filter.
This 10-segment VU (volume units)
meter will indicate the relative output
level of the mic preamp signal and is
sensitive from -15dB to +12dB in 3dB
increments. A meter reading of zero VU
reflects a preamp output level of +4dBu,
the industry professional standard.
This VU meter circuit was designed to
approximate the ballistics of a "Taut
Band" analog style VU meter.
This LED will illuminate green when the power is applied to the
MP 5.0.
The Mix Section
The mix section of the MicPre 5.0 provides a separate left and
right mix output with level, pan and mute. The source of the mix
level may be the mic input, the DI input, or any line level signal
that is connected to the line in jack on the rear panel. The mix
section feeds the left and right mix outputs on the rear panel as
well as the left/right terminals on the mix link connector. The
adjustment to the mix section does not affect the signal at the main
XL output or the Pre Out-B.
With only a simple interface cable, this mix section, or “Mix
Node” can be linked with any number of MP 5.0's to form a fully
integrated mix section. In many situations such as desktop or
location recording, this expandable feature of the MP 5.0 can
eliminate the need for a separate audio mixer.
