1 1.1 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Presonus TubePRE Single-Channel Microphone/Instrument Tube Preamplifier. This pre-amp was designed using state of the art components to deliver crystal clear audio for an infinite period of time. We feel that we have created a reliable, versatile and affordable piece of audio equipment.
2 1.2 Features The following is a summary of your TubePRE's features: Dual-Servo Gain Stage Your TubePRE contains a dual-servo gain stage (no capacitors). This provides ultra-low noise performance and wide dynamic control. This gives the TubePRE the ability to boost the desirable signal without increasing unwanted background noise.
3 80Hz Rumble Filter A rumble filter is available to eliminate low frequency noise. This lets you greatly reduce background noise from things such as air conditioners or wind noise with the flick of a switch without affecting the desired frequencies.
4 2.1 CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS 2.2 Front Panel The TubePRE front panel has the following features: Phantom Power Switch (+48v) Phase Reverse Switch Drive Control (0 to 20dB) - 20db Pad Gain Control (0 to 40dB) 80Hz filter Backlit VU meter 2.3 Preamplifier Section Phantom power is available for the input of the TubePRE.
5 XLR wiring for phantom power PIN 1 GND PIN 2 +48v PIN 3 +48v Phase Reverse Switch Allows the user to invert the polarity of the XLR connector by switching pins two and three. The inversion of the pins of the XLR connector may be necessary to alter the audio phase of two like microphones to compensate for phase cancellation.
6 infinitely richer and sweeter. An overdriven signal can be achieved by significantly raising the level of the drive control. This overdriven tube effect is extremely useful in providing distorted guitar and for creating that authentic “blues harp” vibe (harmonica).
7 1/4” phone plug wiring input and output TIP High (+) SLEEVE GND (-) The output 1/4” phone plug is unbalanced.
8 3.1 OPERATION 3.2 Dynamic Microphones Lower output levels characterize dynamic microphones, so more gain is needed to achieve sufficient operating levels. Occasionally it is necessary to add the -20dB pad to the microphone to avoid distortion (e.g. when recording percussion).
9 how hard the tube is driven when in use. Signs of wear may be exhibited by poor performance or by the tube becoming “microphonic”. Periodic replacement of the vacuum tube is recommended. The time between the suggested replacements varies greatly with use.
10 With a compressor/EQ/dynamics processor When running the Tube Pre in conjunction with other processors it is recommended that the TubePRE be the first unit in the chain. The other units should be connected to the output (either XLR or 1/4”) of the TubePRE.
11 If the voltage on the back of my TubePRE does not match the voltage listed on the power supply what do I do? The voltage on the TubePRE’s external power supply may change. If the power supply came factory sealed with the unit, then it is the right power supply.
12 Can I plug my keyboard/CD player/etc into the TubePRE? It is not recommended that any LINE LEVEL items be plugged into the TubePRE. This scenario will not cause damage to the unit. However, it may cause the signal to distort or sound unpleasant. The reason is that the signal being fed into the unit is too loud for the TubePRE.
