FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
ቢ POWER switch: Two guesses ......
ባ POWER indicator: When this yellow LED is lit, the SM 26B is ready to go.
ቤ MASTER OUTPUT LEVEL controls the amount of signal at the MIX OUTPUT jacks. It does not affect the level of any
of the six MONO OUTs. This control changes the gain of the output stages. This allows an increase in headroom to elimi-
nate overloading due to excessive combined signal from one or more Inputs. Range of gain is from Off to 0dB (unity). Refer
to the block diagram in the SM 26B Data Sheet and/or schematics.
ብ MONO INPUT LEVEL controls the Level of signal through each particular channel. When fed from the MONO IN jack,
each stage has a gain range from Off to +12 dB minimum, allowing level matching of -10 dBV equipment to +4 dBu gear.
When fed via the LEFT & RIGHT INPUT(s), these CHANNEL LEVEL controls automatically limit to a maximum of
unity gain to accommodate the +12dB available from the Left & Right Input gain stages.
ቦ MIX/PAN serves two different functions:
MIX: When used as a SPLITTER, this controls the mix of Left and Right Master Input program to each Channel’s MONO
OUTPUT.
PAN: When used as a MIXER, this control pans the Mono Channel Input between the LEFT and RIGHT MIX OUTPUTS.
ቧ MASTER INPUT LEVEL sets the gain of the Left & Right Master Input stages, with a range of Off to +12 dB. In the
splitting mode, this controls the Level of all Mono Channel Outputs at once (i.e., those which do not have a separate input).
