1] Compatibility and Power 2] Installation The Elixir preamplifier module is designed to be installed into an API™ 500 Series compatible rack and cannot function stand alone, requiring the power source supplied by the rack system. After unpacking your Elixir module, please check for any visible damage that may have occurred during transit. If there is any problem, please contact your dealer immediately for advice on what to do.

Controls and Indicators continued… the impedance seen by the source at the input of the preamp. The microphone input impedance is 4k ohms in the H (high) position and 1k2 ohms in L (low) position. The correct position of this switch is purely subjective, with some microphones (such as ribbon types) being more susceptible to this change than others. The instrument input is also affected by this switch with an input impedance of 1Meg ohms in H position and 20k ohms in L position.
