The two mic pres are completely independent, sharing only a common power switch. Each channel features both mic and instrument inputs and switches for phantom power, phase reverse, and pad. Each of these functions includes an indicator LED to easily inform the user of the current status of the devise even in a dark control room. The pad switch attenuates the microphone signal by 20dB and the instrument signal by 10dB. The output levels are monitored via a custom analog VU meter and a peak LED located above the gain control knob. The rear panel includes a pair of female XLR connectors for microphone input and pairs of both balanced male XLR and balanced 1/4-inch jacks for audio output. The two output connectors are wired in parallel. The R20 utilizes the THAT 1512 Mic Preamp IC, which produces near-discrete performance. The microphone input offers 54dB of gain and the high-impedance instrument input offers 45dB. The mic input has a 6.8 kilohm input impedance and a bandwidth of 20Hz – 50kHz, +/- 0.5dB. The THD+N @ 1kHz, +4dBu is 0.013% http://www.arsenalaudio.com http://www.communitypro.com
