INTRODUCTION

Permanent installations require solutions that offer a visually discrete design that blends into the background while still being flexible and versatile in their functions. You need to be able to connect different audio sources and manage them, to mute non-priority signals during announcements or emergency calls.
The PREST 1 is a 4-channel multi-functional stereo mixer preamplifier that allows users to mix 2 microphone/line sources together with an emergency line input and one of the 3 music sources available, including a Bluetooth receiver. These versatile connection options together with a four-level priority system, that combines contact closure inputs and VOX audio detection circuits, guarantee a seamless integration in almost any commercial audio application.
PRE ST 1 is equipped with two priority contacts: one for the emergency input, which mutes all the other signal sources, and one for the microphone inputs, which mutes the music signal sources. The stereo balanced line output includes a mono/stereo switch and separate tone controls for bass and treble. An automatic standby mode can also be activated in order to further reduce energy consumption when the device is not used. The intuitive design of its control panel ensures an easy operation, with input and master volume controls, clear signal level and priority indications, and a practical music source selection and Bluetooth pairing activation via capacitive buttons. On the other hand, the clarity of the rear panel and the compact 9.5” format ensures that the preamplifier can be easily installed.

CONNECTIONS, CONTROLS AND DISPLAY ELEMENTS

1. POWER CONNECTOR
   IEC socket to the power supply of the device (power cable included in the packaging).

2. FUSE
   Fuse holder for 250 V fuses (5 × 20 mm). IMPORTANT NOTE: Only replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type (see note on the housing). If the fuse
   blows repeatedly, please contact an authorized service center.

3.  ON/OFF
   Rocker switches to turn the device on and off.

4. EMERGENCY
   5-pole terminal block connection for the installation of an acoustic emergency call system. The poles +, – and G correspond to a balanced line input. Poles C and + are used for the connection of a separate mute switch (terminal block included in the packaging). The contact closure of the EMERGENCY channel (Poles C and + closed) mutes all other input channels, regardless of the VOX settings.
   CLIP: The red CLIP LED indicates, the input is being operated at the distortion limit. You should reduce the signal level using the GAIN control or the volume control on the playback device so that the CLIP LED is no longer lit.
   VOX: The VOX control (Voice Operated Exchange) makes it possible to set a threshold for the emergency audio signal in order to activate an automatic mute switching circuit. When the level at the EMERGENCY input reaches the set threshold, all other microphone and line channels are muted. This ensures that the emergency signal can be heard clearly. In addition, in this case the EMERG indicator is lit on the front of the amplifier.
   As soon as the level of the emergency signal falls below the set threshold, the other channels are no longer muted and the EMERG indicator goes out. With this setting, the EMERGENCY channel always has the highest priority. The emergency signal is routed directly to the audio output LINE OUT internally.
   If the VOX control is set to minimum (turned all the way to the left), automatic muting via the VOX switching circuit is deactivated and the EMERGENCY channel can be used as an additional line channel.
   GAIN: Control to set the pre-amplification of the corresponding audio signal. Set the Gain control such that the Clip LED of the channel only lights up briefly when the signal level peaks. Avoid the Clip LED being permanently lit by reducing the pre-amplification. It may also be necessary to reduce the signal level on the playback device. The level of the emergency signal is not influenced by the current setting of the main volume control (master volume), but is set via the GAIN control.

5. MIC/LINE 1
   Microphone/line channel with switchable chime function (signal tone). The connection can be made via the XLR/jack combo socket as well as the terminal block. In this case, the poles +, – and G are provided on the terminal block connection for the balanced input signal.
   Poles C and + are used for the connection of a separate mute switch (terminal block included in the packaging). The contact closure offers the possibility to mute the MUSIC channel using an external switch/button. In addition, the internal chime/signal tone function can be activated in this way when the circuit is enabled (see point 6 MIC/LINE 2, CHIME).
   MIC/LINE: If there is a line signal on the XLR/jack combo socket or the terminal block, switch the MIC/LINE channel 1 to LINE mode using the corresponding MIC/LINE switch (switch pressed). If a microphone is connected, activate MIC mode using the MIC/LINE switch (switch not pressed).
   PHANTOM ON/OFF: When using a condenser microphone, you need to activate the 24 V phantom power supply (PHANTOM ON/OFF switch pressed:
   ON). Always make sure that the microphone is connected and the channel volume is set to a minimum before turning on phantom power. Before you disconnect the microphone from the device again, deactivate the phantom power and turn the channel volume to a minimum.
   GAIN: Control to set the pre-amplification of the corresponding audio signal. Set the Gain control such that the Clip LED of the channel only lights up briefly when the signal level peaks. Avoid the Clip LED being permanently lit by reducing the pre-amplification. It may also be necessary to reduce the signal level on the playback device.
   CLIP: The red CLIP LED indicates, the input is being operated at the distortion limit. You should reduce the signal level on the GAIN control or the volume control on the playback device so that the CLIP LED is no longer lit.
   VOX: The VOX control makes it possible to set an audio threshold value for an automatic mute circuit for MIC/LINE input 1, that mutes MIC/LINE 2 and MUSIC channels as soon as its input signal reaches the predefined level. The PRIO LED is lit on the front if the contact closure or VOX circuit is activated. As soon as the input level of the emergency signal falls below the set threshold, the channels are no longer muted and the PRIO LED goes out. In such a configuration, MIC/LINE 1 has priority over MIC/LINE 2 and MUSIC. Adjust the volume of the channel using control 1 on the front of the device.

6. MIC/LINE 2
   Microphone/line channel with switchable chime function (signal tone). The connection can be made via the RCA sockets (line level, a stereo signal is summed to mono) as well as the terminal block. In this case, the poles +, – and G are provided on the terminal block connection for the balanced input signal.
   MIC/LINE: If there is a line signal on the terminal block connection, switch the MIC/LINE channel 2 to LINE mode using the corresponding MIC/LINE switch (switch pressed). If a microphone is connected to the terminal block connection, activate MIC mode using the MIC/LINE switch (switch not pressed).
   PHANTOM ON/OFF: When using a condenser microphone, you need to activate the 24 V phantom power supply (PHANTOM ON/OFF switch pressed: ON). Always make sure that the microphone is connected and the channel volume is set to a minimum before turning on phantom power. Before you disconnect the microphone from the device again, deactivate the phantom power and turn the channel volume to a minimum.
   GAIN: Control to set the pre-amplification of the corresponding audio signal. Set the Gain control such that the Clip LED of the channel only lights up briefly when the signal level peaks. Avoid the Clip LED being permanently lit by reducing the pre-amplification. It may also be necessary to reduce the signal level on the playback device.
   CLIP: The red CLIP LED indicates, the input is being operated at the distortion limit. You should reduce the signal level on the GAIN control or the volume control on the playback device so that the CLIP LED is no longer lit.
   CHIME: The volume for the chime/signal tone is controlled via the CHIME control on the back of the amplifier. If the control is turned all the way to the left, the chime/signal tone circuit is disabled. If the internal chime/signal tone function is active, MIC/LINE 1, MIC/LINE 2 and MUSIC channels are muted for the duration of the signal tone. The signal tone is initiated with the help of a button that is connected to contacts C and + of the MIC/ LINE 1 channel. Adjust the volume of the channel using control 2 on the front of the device.

7. MUSIC
   Stereo line channel for the connection of playback devices such as a CD or MP3 player. The MUSIC channel includes a Bluetooth module. RCA sockets are provided on the back for connecting two stereo line input signal sources (CD symbol or cable symbol). The desired signal source is selected using a touch- sensitive button on the front of the amplifier. Adjust the volume of the channel using control MUSIC on the front of the device.

8. LINE OUT
   The balanced stereo line output LINE OUT with terminal block connection is used to send the audio output signal to an external amplifier or active loudspeaker system. Pin assignment: LEFT +, LEFT -, G (Ground), RIGHT +, RIGHT – (terminal block in packaging content).
   BASS/TREBLE: The tone settings of the output signal can be applied by using the BASS and TREBLE controls.
   ST/MONO: The output of the audio signal can either be in stereo (ST) or in mono (MONO). If the switch is set to MONO, the corresponding audio signal is summed to mono at both outputs LEFT and RIGHT.

9. STANDBY ON/OFF
   If the standby function is activated (STANDBY in ON position), the amplifier is automatically set to standby mode if there is no audio signal for 20 minutes. This reduces power consumption considerably. As soon as there is an audio signal, standby mode is automatically ended and the amplifier is once again operational after around 3 seconds (the STANDBY LED flashes white on the front of the device when starting). If the STANDBY LED is solid white, the device is ready for use. The LED is lit red in standby mode. In addition, the device can also be switched to standby mode manually by pressing the standby button on the front. In this case, auto standby mode is deactivated and the device no longer starts automatically. Please note: The standby circuit analyses the connection status of the Bluetooth unit. When a Bluetooth connection to an auxiliary device (smartphone, tablet) is detected, and Bluetooth is selected as the signal source, the device will not automatically go into standby mode.
   

10. CHANNEL 1
    Volume control for channel 1 with white SIG (signal) and red CLIP LED. As soon as there is an audio signal on channel 1 and volume control 1 is set to the desired volume, the white signal LED lights up. If the red CLIP LED lights up, the signal may be distorted. In this case, reduce the channel volume control (control 1). Should the audio signal still be distorted, please check the corresponding input level on the back of the amplifier (CLIP LED/GAIN).

11. CHANNEL 2
    Volume control for channel 2 with white SIG (signal) and red CLIP LED. As soon as there is an audio signal on channel 2 and volume control 2 is set to the desired  volume, the white signal LED lights up. If the red CLIP LED lights up, the signal may be distorted. In this case, reduce the channel volume (control 2). Should the audio signal still be distorted, please check the corresponding input level on the back of the amplifier (CLIP LED/GAIN).

12. MUSIC
    Volume control for MUSIC channel with white SIG (signal) and red CLIP LED. As soon as there is an audio signal on the MUSIC channel and the corresponding volume control is set to the desired volume, the white signal LED lights up. If the red CLIP LED lights up, the signal may be distorted. In this case, reduce the output level of the auxiliary device or the channel volume (MUSIC control).

13. Touch-sensitive button for selecting the audio source of the MUSIC channel (Bluetooth module, input with CD symbol, input with cable symbol). To switch over the signal source, press the button for at least half a second. Activation of the individual signal sources takes place clockwise.

14. Touch-sensitive button for activating the Bluetooth connection (pairing). To connect a Bluetooth auxiliary device (e.g. Smartphone, tablet, etc.) to the Bluetooth module of the device, select the Bluetooth signal source (see element 13). If no auxiliary device is connected to the Bluetooth module, this is indicated by the Bluetooth symbol flashing slowly. In this mode, the LD PRE ST1 is not visible to external auxiliary devices. Only previously connected auxiliary devices can be connected directly to the LD PRE ST1 without activating pairing mode. In order to prevent an unwanted or unexpected connection, this connection is not established automatically, but must be manually established in the Bluetooth menu of the auxiliary device (select LD PRE ST1).

To connect to a new auxiliary device, press the Bluetooth pairing button for around 2 seconds until the Bluetooth symbol flashes more rapidly.
The Bluetooth ID is now visible to other Bluetooth devices. Activate the Bluetooth function on the auxiliary device and search for nearby Bluetooth devices in the Bluetooth menu. When the LD PRE ST1 appears under “available devices”, you just need to select it and the connection will be made automatically. If this process is successful, the Bluetooth symbol is permanently lit on the front of the device and the Bluetooth ID is no longer visible to other devices. This prevents unauthorized connections to the Bluetooth module. Playback from the auxiliary device can now be started. To disconnect a currently paired Bluetooth device and to set the Bluetooth module ready to pair again, press the Bluetooth icon for around 2 seconds. Pair the playback device and connect it again by selecting LD PRE ST1 from “paired devices” in the Bluetooth menu of the playback device.

15 MASTER VOLUME CONTROL
The master volume control is used to adjust the volume of the summed signal of all channels except the EMERGENCY channel. The EMERGENCY channel bypasses the master volume control, and the signal is sent directly to the stereo line output, LINE OUT. The master volume control is equipped with a ring-shaped LED display. This LED ring remains dark when there is no signal or only a very weak signal at the output, and starts to light up white as soon as a sufficient signal level is detected.
16 PRIO
LED for the indication of an active priority mode related to MIC/LINE channels (priority levels 2, 3 and 4). Three situations cause the priority feature of the MIC/LINE channels to engage, thereby causing the PRIO display field on the front of the device to light up yellow.
1. The VOX circuit is active (input signal level MIC/LINE 1 exceeds the set VOX threshold value).
2. The contact between poles C and + of the terminal block connections for MIC/LINE 1 channel is closed using a mute switch/button.
3. The chime/signal tone is played.
Further information on the channel priorities and the EMERG and PRIO indicators on the front of the amplifier can be found in the PRIORITY LEVELS table in these operating instructions.
17 EMERG
Indicator for the priority function of the EMERGENCY channel. The EMERG indicator is lit yellow if priority level 1 is activated by the VOX emergency circuit or a connected mute switch/button (contact closure). All other input channels are muted during this time. As soon as the contact closure is opened again or the emergency signal level falls below the VOX threshold value, all channels will be unmuted, and the EMERG display will be turned off.
18 STANDBY BUTTON
Briefly press the standby button to put the amplifier into standby mode and mute the stereo line output, LINE OUT. If the standby button is briefly pressed again, the device is ready for operation again. If standby mode is activated by pressing the standby button, reactivation of the device via the automatic standby function is not available, even if an audio signal is detected.
