congratulations: You now own one of the most versatile preamplifiers available. Offering a superb level of sound quality, the TPS hybrid tube and solid state circuit design, combined with a straightforward user interface, quickly and easily gives you access to all of its fea ...

environments. In a rack-mountable, all-steel enclosure, the units are designed for continuous professional use. Mounting location is not critical. However, for greater reliability we recommend that you not place the units on top of power amps or other sources of heat. The tube circuit ...

INPUT CONTROL The Input Control sets the amount of input gain of the TPS. Turn the control clockwise to increase gain and counterclockwise to decrease gain. You may control two ranges of gain with this control, +20 to +68dB and +0 to +48dB. Selection of the gain range is made with the +20dB gain switch. NOTE: This control, along wit ...

plugged into a line where Phantom power is present. However, if the mic doesn't need it, do not use it. Some things are best left untested! PHASE REVERSE SWITCH The Phase Reverse switch is provided to reverse the phase of the signal. This switch works on Pins 2 and 3 of the XLR output jack an ...

that has been optimized for that instrument. Once the preset is chosen, the user can even fine tune the signal – which shows the true power of V3 technology…it’s tweakable. V3 even features a multi setting, which is useful for a wide variety of applications – like overhead micing, ...

panel houses 2 dual-purpose ¼" / XLR input jacks, and the rear houses balanced XLR ins and outs as well as unbalanced ¼" outs. Standard ¼" and XLR inputs and outputs make patching simple. DUAL PURPOSE INPUT JACKS (FRONT) The front mounted dual purpose jacks act as bo ...

The XLR Output jacks of the TPS are active balanced. You may use them in an unbalanced configuration without harm to the output circuitry. The XLR outputs can provide a hefty signal level (+28dBu) at a low impedance, so make sure that you do not overdrive equipment with sensitive inputs. When using it on the front end of a mixer, g ...

available. Through use of the V3 technology, numerous instruments can be processed by the TPS system. Simply mic the instrument (if acoustic), amp, or plug the instrument directly in to take full advantage of V3 technology. V3  Settings and their applications when processi ...
