TR1616 Preamp Setup
1� Start with all set to the full counterclockwise position and all front
panel buttons disengaged (LEDs off).
2� Connect each instrument/source to the TR1616 using either the 1/4” input or XLR
input for each channel.
3� Engage the <+48> buttons on any channels which require phantom power, such as
active direct boxes and condenser microphones.
Note:
All devices connected to the TR1616 which require phantom power must be
connected using the XLR connections.
4� Engage the buttons on any channels which require it, such as the bottom
microphone of a top/bottom dual mic’ed snare pair.
5� With source signal present, adjust the first channel’s knob so that the -10
dBFS LED barely lights and the CLIP LED does not.
6� Repeat step 5 for each channel. If a source causes one of the TR1616’s inputs to clip
when the knob is all the way down, engage the <20dB PAD> button for
the channel and then complete step 5.
