Nilfisk-ALTO MP8 Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
1. INTRODUCTION
MP8 eight channels microphone/ instrument preamplifier has been designed and constructed using advanced technology
to provide its user crystalline audio reproduction for an infinite period of time, which is ideal for professional recording
applications and sound installs. These first 2 channels of our MP8 include high gain mic /line input with an integrated DI
box feature. The high-quality components and the carefully designed circuits ensure excellent audio performance
and an extremely linear frequency response, giving crystal-clear sound in the high range and an up-front, full-bodied
bottom end. This amplifier guarantees total reliability and a trouble-free use even in the most demanding conditions.
We believe the MP8 not only look great, but provide a perfect performance, what you get is unprecedented performance
at an incredibly attractive price.

1/4" Instrument Input (only channel 1 and channel 2 )
These two 1/4" instrument inputs have been designed to connect instruments such as electric guitars or basses.
These instr
ument inputs are ultra high impedance amplifiers designed to allow the audio potential of an acoustic or
electric instrument pickup to be fully realized.
Note: please do not use the pre-amp of the instruments on-board (if possible), in order to avoid distortion caused
by over-driving input signal.
Input Gain Control Knob (from channel 1 to channel 8)
The knob can be used to adjust the gain of the input signal. The gain range can be varied from 0dB to +60dB.
Phantom Power Switch (from channel 1 to channel 8)
The unit provides +48V Phantom Power to every channel. Via this lighted switch, you can turn on /off the +48V
phantom Power for condenser microphone .
Note: please do not connect dynamic microphone when the phantom Power is on. Otherwise, It may damage the
device and the microphone.
High Pass Filter Switch (from channel 1 to channel 8)
The unit provides an 80Hz high pass filter for each channel. You will activate the filter by pressing the lighted
switch.
This filter is useful for eliminating extraneous low-end information from the signal being amplified. Frequencies from
eighty hertz and below are cut from the incoming signal. This feature is useful in eliminating low frequency noise
such as air-conditioning rumble or for reducing the sound of footsteps or other types of vibrations from being
transmitted through the microphone stand into the microphone. But, never press the switch when in music or bass
musical instrument application or the plump bass of music.
