3.1 Input Gain Control

Each input channel (Gain 1 and Gain 2) has a dedicated rotary knob on the front panel to adjust the input level. Turn the knob clockwise to increase gain and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Adjust the gain so that the 'Signal' LED illuminates consistently during input, and the 'Peak' LED only flashes occasionally during the loudest parts of your audio, avoiding constant illumination which indicates clipping.

3.2 פאַנטאָם מאַכט (+48V)

For condenser microphones that require external power, activate the '+48V On/Off' switch located on the rear panel for the corresponding input channel. Ensure the microphone is connected before activating phantom power to prevent damage.

3.3 מאָניטאָרינג

The Audiolink III features a direct monitoring function. The 'Monitor On/Off' switch on the rear panel allows you to listen to your input signal directly through the headphone output and line outputs with minimal latency. The 'Stereo/Mono' switch allows you to monitor inputs in stereo (separate left/right channels) or summed to mono.

3.4 כעדפאָון רעזולטאַט

The 'Headphone' jack on the front panel provides a dedicated output for monitoring. The 'Volume' knob next to it controls the overall output level for the headphones.
