15. crophones This power is sent through an XLR cable to the microphone and is used to electrify the capsule of the microphone creating a current that can then be interrupted by small changes in the air created by sound waves sS TECHNICAL INFORMATION Amplitude The volume of a signal usually measured in decibels dB Boost A 20dB boost is built into each preamplifier allowing you to amplify a low level input signal enough to be recorded You should have the gain knob turned completely to the left when you engage the boost and then adjust the gain higher from there Exercise caution when engaging the boost as your input will be much louder with the 20dB boost engaged Clip Clipping Clipping occurs when an input level exceeds the maximum level allowed by the preamp This is heard as harsh distortion and should be avoided as it can sometimes cause damage to speakers or headphones A limiter can be used to aid in preventing clipping see Limit Feedback This is commonly the result of an input being fed into itself as with the case of a microphone placed in front of the speakers it is outputting from This creates a loud uncontrolled signal often very high pitched and can cause damage to your ears as well as your speakers or headphones Be very careful to avoid creating feedback when using microphones near any output device Gain Increasing gain will amplify your input signal The goal should be to set the gain as high as poss

18. is the result of the amplitude of the signal sent to the left and right side of a stereo output When a signal is panned center it will be heard equally through the left and right output There is a panner on each channel of the INSPIRE 1394 Monitor Mixer 33 TECHNICAL INFORMATION RCA This type of connector usually comes in colored stereo pairs where the white connector is the left side and the red connector is the right side These are commonly used for connecting to speakers or unbalanced devices There are two sets of RCA connectors on your INSPIRE 1394 one for speaker outputs and another for inputs 3 4 Sample Rate This refers to the number of samples per second you are recording of the waveform eg 44 100 samples per second You will notice an increase in audio fidelity the higher the sample rate is set This must match the sample rate setting in your recording software For PC Drop down the sample rate menu in the INSPIRE 1394 Control Panel to select the sample rate 44 1 48 88 2 96k For Mac Open AMS and look at the properties for the INSPIRE 1394 Change the format to select the sample rate 44 1 48 88 2 96k XLR This is the type of connector commonly used with microphones and other balanced devices all XLR cables are balanced and have hum cancellation properties The female connector will typically connect to a microphone and the male connector will typically connect to a preamp There are two XLR inputs on
