Mic Preamp Card
Mic Selection
Dipswitch SW2 positions 1 - 4 when ON will select the mic source
for the input channels 1- 4 (source A) respectively. To access these
switches, power off the console by disconnecting the AC cord from
the outlet or SPS-202, then remove the four mounting screws from the
Input panel so that the panel can be lifted from the console frame. The
switches are located on the underside of the panel. Replace the panel by
carefully setting the panel in place, being sure that the rear connectors
are properly aligned with the access holes in the rear of the frame, then
replacing the four mounting screws. Reapply power to the console by
reconnecting the AC cord.

Dipswitch SW1 positions 1-4 enable phantom power for microphone inputs 1 - 4
respectively. This dipswitch can be accessed from the rear of the console and is located
next to the microphone audio input connectors. Having a switch in the up position turns
phantom ON.

is pressed, allowing the operator to talk over the normal audio

mic is turned on.
Cue To CR
The dipswitch CUE TO CR, when activated, sends cue to the control room.
Cue Mute

speaker can easily be picked up by the console operator’s microphone. This is a potential
