Intorduction and Features
Thank you for purchasing the Model 5030 Line
Amplifier. Please read this information before using the
line amplifier in order to obtain the best performance.
The 5030 is designed to allow interfacing between
-4dBu balanced lines and -10dBV unbalanced lines. The
5030 has eight input and eight output line amplifiers.
In addition, there are two banks of switches on rear
panel. One bank is for adjusting the polarity of XLR
connector at the same time inputs and outputs. For best
results, please be sure that polarity is correct by using
these switches. The second bank of switches is for
changing the nominal level. These switches are only
effective between unbalanced inputs and outputs. With
these switches, you may choose between -6dBV or
-10dBV. Please set these switches according to your
needs.
Connections
Connecting the 5030 is a straight forward procedure.
There are only a few important points to remember.
First, make all connections while the power is off to the
5030. Second, make your connections according tothe
numbers on the back. Inother words, if you connect to
the number one XLR-3-31 input, connect the corre-
sponding RCA pin jack to the number 1 output. When
connecting an RCA pin jack to, for example, the number
7 input, be sure to connect the corresponding XLR-3-32
to the number 7 output.
XLR connectors
The connectors for the +4dBu signals are XLR-3-31
for the inputs and XLR-3-32 for the outputs.
