Operational Features

PRE2 STEREO PREAMPLIFIER OWNER’S MANUAL

Main Screen

1. Mute Button

Pressing the mute button initiates a 2-stage, sequential Mute

function. Soft Mute (-20dB from the current level), Full Mute,

and finally Mute Off. Mute is Off/disabled as soon as the

Volume knob is rotated or the Volume buttons are depressed

on the remote. Once Mute is off the PRE2 will return the

signal path to its current volume setting. A short fade-in is

performed to avoid audible transient artifacts.

2. Loop Button

The Loop function allows for the insertion of an external

device (e.g. signal processor) into the main signal path. There is no gain applied to loop return signal. The state of Loop path

is input-dependent. Each preamp input can engage the Loop as required.

3. PGM Button

The PGM (program) opens a pop-up menu with 4 main programming or configuration selections. New navigation buttons

will appear: Up, Down, Enter, and Exit. See “Programming Menu” section.

4. SAVE Button

The SAVE function immediately saves the state of the system in non-volatile memory. The following parameters are saved:

• Volume Step Number and Loop state - as set for each input

• Volume Display Units (steps or decibels)

• Volume Font: 7-Segment or a ‘Designer’ font

• LCD display Contrast and Brightness settings

• The default input to be selected upon power-up.
