Setup
The MD1 Pro can be quite useful on stage or in the studio for connecting unbalanced audio sources or
instruments with pickups. By utilizing the MD1 Pro, the signal can be sent cleanly for long distances while
benefiting from the low noise and common mode rejection provided by the balanced low-level output. The
diagram following shows a typical hook-up for an acoustic guitar connected to an acoustic guitar amplifier
and a PA system.
• Set the volume controls of your audio
system to the off position.
• Connect your instrument or other audio
source to the MD1 Pro INPUT jack.
• Connect the THRU output to a monitor
speaker or sub-mixer.
• Connect the BALANCED OUTPUT to the
microphone input of a mixer or other audio
device.
• Raise the level of the audio system to the
appropriate level.
• If you hear a hum or buzz set the
GROUND LIFT switch to the LIFT position.
• If you hear distortion, set the pad switch
to either the -15dB or -30dB position.
You may need to adjust the input level of
the mixer to make up for the attenuated
signal.
