INTRODUCTION

The Trave re-amplification box is used as an essential tool for high quality electric guitar recording in both professional and home sound studios. As a connecting link, it allows an already recorded, dry guitar signal to be reproduced unadulterated and transmitted with appropriate adaptation to a guitar amplifier, where it can, in turn, be picked up and recorded by microphone. This allows the sound engineer to experiment with the instrument sound using different amplifiers, guitar effects, microphones, and microphone positions at their leisure, and record multiple versions of the processed guitar signal on separate tracks of a DAW without the need for a guitarist to be present. The re amplification box also has an internal transformer that can effectively prevent ground loops.

CONNECTIONS AND OPERATING ELEMENTS

INPUT

Balanced microphone input with a female 3-pin XLR socket. Connect the line output of your recording system and the line input of the re-amplification box using a high-quality microphone cable. If the recording system does not have an XLR output, a cable with an appropriate connector must be used.

SWITCH -10 dBV / +4 dBu

Pressure switch for selecting the working level. Consumer equipment, switch not pressed (-10 dBV). Professional equipment, switch pressed (+4 dBu).

LIFT/GND

Switch for disconnecting the ground connection from the input and output (ground lift). In the non-pressed position, the ground connection is disconnected; the connection is established when the switch is pressed. The ability to prevent a humming loop using the ground lift switch depends on the grounding of the connected device. It is therefore possible that both one and the other switch position is able to effectively reduce or eliminate humming.

OUTPUT

High-impedance audio output with an unbalanced 6.3 mm jack socket. Use a high- quality guitar cable to connect the re amplification box to the instrument input of a guitar amplifier.

LEVEL

Level controller for adjusting the output level.

ATTENTION
Connecting signal cables can cause a lot of noise. Please ensure that the input channel mixer audio interface, etcis muted during plugging. Otherwise, noise levels may cause damage.

NOTE
Strong magnetic fields can cause humming. Therefore, do not position the re- amplification box near strong magnetic fields e.g. mains transformer.
