User manual JEFF ROWLAND COHERENCE

[. . . ] All inputs and outputs can be used with single-ended RCA terminated interconnects by using XLR/RCA adapters (one male stereo pair and one female stereo pair supplied). Independent Listen and Record functions on each input permit simultaneous listening and recording from any two selected inputs. Each input can be individually adjusted for R/L balance, mono/stereo, absolute phase, input impedance, and gain, exclusively independent of every other input. Individually adjusted input settings are automatically memorized and recalled when returning to that input. [. . . ] Note: BATT mode is not allowed unless the batteries have achieved sufficient charge capacity. B LISTEN SELECT rocker switch: Momentarily pressing the upper section enables INPUT/RECORD buttons 1-7 for listening via the preamplifier Main output jacks. LISTEN SELECT lamp will remain illuminated unless the lower section Record Select rocker switch is pressed. C RECORD SELECT rocker switch: Momentarily pressing the lower G MONO rocker switch: Momentarily pressing the upper section of the section enables INPUT/RECORD buttons 1-7 for recording via the preamplifier Record output jacks. RECORD SELECT lamp will remain illuminated unless the upper section LISTEN SELECT rocker switch is pressed. H PHASE rocker switch: Momentarily pressing the upper section of the PHASE rocker switch inverts the absolute phase of both channels of the selected Input. Pressing the lower section of the PHASE rocker switch restores normal polarity to both channels of the selected Input. Function Controls continue on the next page.

The overall gain of the preamplifier remains fixed at 0 dB (unity) gain. All other preamplifier functions are disabled except for record functions. All previously selected front panel lamps are not illuminated with the exception of the BYPASS and selected RECORD input lamp. Pressing the lower section of the BYPASS rocker switch or selecting any other Listen input will restore normal operation. The previously selected LISTEN Input lamp is illuminated and the BYPASS lamp is not illuminated. MUTE rocker switch: Momentarily pressing the upper section of the MUTE rocker switch mutes the preamplifier outputs. Pressing the lower section of the MUTE rocker switch restores the normal condition of the preamplifier outputs. image is shifted to the left or right slightly for each press of the BAL L or BAL R button. Each press equals a total channel imbalance of 1 dB. For each 0. 5 dB that one channel is offset, the opposite channel is offset in the opposite direction by 0. 5 dB. This feature maintains that the absolute volume level will remain the same even though the image will be shifted by a specific amount. A total of six (6) presses on each button (3dB) can be achieved which will give a total imbalance of 6 dB between right and left channels. Either the L or R lamp will be illuminated to indicate a channel imbalance. Otherwise, neither L nor R lamp is illuminated. L CUT L/R push buttons: If the Mute lamp is illuminated, pressing the CUT L push button will mute the left channel only. Conversely, if the Mute lamp is illuminated, pressing the CUT R push button will mute the right channel only and the CUT R lamp illuminates. To restore normal operation, press the lower section of the MUTE rocker switch. volume, while rotating the knob counterclockwise decreases volume. [. . . ] The Coherence Preamplifier utilizes circuit technologies which require a much longer "break-in" period than other preamplifier designs. It is recommended that a period of at least eight (8) days (200 hours) of continuous operation be allowed before full sonic performance potential can be expected. Installation and Operation Remote Control Features A The six-function, hand-held, IR remote transmitter permits remote operation of Input Selection, Volume Up/Down, Balance L/R and Mute functions B A separate remote sensor/display unit simultaneously receives transmitted data and displays the numerical Volume control position from 0 to 63. 5 dB in increments of 0. 5 dB. C The supplied RJ-11 cable allows the remote sensor/display unit to be placed within two meters of the preamplifier for optimal IR reception and/or volume control position viewing. Up to 30 meters of cable length can be used if desired. D The Interconnect Cable Adapter should first be connected securely to the DB-25 connector on the rear panel of the Power Supply using the integral finger screws. The RJ-11 cable can then be installed from the Remote Sensor/Display unit to the adapter. [. . . ]
