The PRE16 is a simple but versatile, single rack space, 6 channel stereo pre-amplifier. It offers the perfect solution for a wide variation of applications where various and multiple music sources should be mixed and distributed through a single zone audio distribution system. It is reliable, easy to install, and simple to operate, but still provides the possibility to connect and control all kinds of music sources. The PRE16 is constructed as a six channel stereo pre-amplifier whereof two channels are balanced microphone inputs which both contain a three-band tone control, gain control, phantom power and a talk over function. When the phantom power switch is turned ON, 15V is supplied to the corresponding microphone channel for powering condenser microphones. When the talk over switch is turned ON, other present music sources will be ducked when a signal is present. The other four input channels are direct line inputs whereof one is constructed as a balanced stereo line input, while the remaining line inputs are unbalanced. All the connections and channel settings can be made at the rear of the PRE16 while on the front, all the individual channel volume control buttons are provided like the general output volume control with two band tone control.
