HV-32P User Guide

Gain is a continuously variable gain control. It has a high gain jump near full clockwise for low level signals.

Signal LEDs indicate signal level at -30dBu (green), +8dBu (yellow) and +20dBu (red).

Ribbon-Dyn Mic DC couples the mic to the gain stage and also provides an additional 10dB of gain. Use with any Ribbon or Dynamic mic (like an SM-57). A mic requiring phantom power will not work in this mode.

Pad - Attenuates the input signal after the gain stage by about 14dB.

Phantom Power - turns the +48V phantom power supply on.

Avoid connecting or disconnecting mics with the +48V on (hot patching). This can damage the mic, preamp and make some very loud pops that can damage your monitoring system and ears.

External Power Supply - The HV-35P is powered by a 12V DC, 5 amp, universal voltage (100 to 240 VAC) line lump power supply provided with the unit.

It can also be powered by Li-Ion battery packs that produce 14.8V DC and automatically cut off at 12V DC. If it doesn’t have a cut-off circuit, it may damage the unit.

Rack Tray Mounting - Maximum MidAtlantic screw length is 3/16″ (flathead 632). If you use a longer screw it will damage the circuit board.
