Step 2:

Set all front panel level controls at maxi
mum.

Step 3:
Set the oscillator output level at 1 volt ms
for the microphone input or 0.25 volt rms
for the line input. Output of the mixer as
sembly should be 1 volt rms as read on the
vtvm. (See NOTE above.)

OVERALL GAIN ADJUSTMENT

To set the overall gain of the mixer assem-
bly to the nominal value (or any other value
within 10 db of the nominal), use the follow-
ing procedure.

Step 1:

Connect the audio oscillator and the vtvm as
shown in the test set-up. Set the oscillator
at 500 cps.

Step 2:
Set all front panel level controls at maxi
mum.

Step 3:

Set the oscillator output level at 1 volt rms
for the microphone input or 0.25 volt ms
for the line input. (See NOTE in the GAIN
MEASUREMENT paragraph.)

Step 4:
Adjust the LEVEL SET control to produce
a 1 volt rms output as read on the vtvm.
(See NOTE in the GAIN MEASUREMENT
paragraph.)

FREQUENCY RESPONSE MEASUREMENT

Step 1:
Connect the audio oscillator and the vtvm as
shown in the test set-up. Set the oscillator
at 500 cps.

Step 2:

Set all front panel level controls at maxi-
mum.

Step 3:
Set the oscillator output level at 1 volt rms
for the microphone input or 025 volt rms
for the line input (or to the value used in
setting the gain in the GAIN ADJUSTMENT
paragraph).

Step 4:
Make a frequency response check by using
at least ten discrete frequencies between 30
and 15,000 cps. The output level of the
mixer assembly should not vary more than
plus or minus one db from the normal out-
put.
