OVERVIEW
GS-SW012 features two low noise reference microphones amplifiers designed for
testing and comparing microphones.
There are two headphone monitoring amplifiers enabling two users to listen to the
microphone inputs. A front panel switch selects which of the two inputs is being sent
to the outputs. Rather than providing a coarse direct switch between the two inputs
when the front panel select switch is operated a quick and clean cross fade is
performed between the two microphone inputs.
The microphone inputs use the very latest digitally controlled microphone amplifiers
and gain is accurately controlled in 1dB steps. The output of the microphone amplifiers
is fed into a low noise and wide dynamic range analogue digital converter (ADC),
before being fed into a DSP for cross fade and headphone level control.
The maximum input level of the microphone amplifiers has been carefully set to be
able to handle +16dB, however as there are no internal compressors or limiters to
prevent unwanted artifacts for reference monitoring an analogue pad is inserted
automatically when the input gain is set to +10dB (or lower) providing a further 14dB of
input attenuation bringing the minimum gain to -4dB and the maximum microphone
input level to before clipping +30dB.
In addition to the two headphone outputs, a balanced analogue XLR audio output is
also provided to allow external reference loudspeakers or recording equipment to be
used.
A small front panel LCD screen is provided to show the gain settings of the two
microphone inputs. This LCD also provides indication if the input pad is enabled on an
input or not.
48V phantom power is provided by a low noise DC:DC circuit and can be turned on/ off
for each of the two inputs by front panel self indicating toggle switches.
Each of the two inputs has its own 7 LED PPM meter providing accurate level indication
of the amplifiers output. The meters have a range of -18 to +18dB with a resolution of
6dB. This is sufficient for the user to allign the levels from two different microphones.

1. MIC A PPM
These 7 LEDs provide a visual indication of the A microphone input’s output
level. The marked scale is in dB and the ballistics follow a PPM style.
2. SELECTED LEDS
These two bright yellow LEDs provide a visual indication of which of the two
microphone inputs is currently selected and being routed to the headphone
and XLR outputs.
3. MIC B PPM
These 7 LEDS provide a visual indication of the B microphone input’s output
level. The marked scale is in dB and the ballistics follow a PPM style.

4. MIC B GAIN SWITCHES
Pressing these switches adjust the B microphone’s input gain up or down in 1dB
steps. The current actual gain being applied to the B microphone input will be
displayed on the LCD display.
Once the minimum gain of 10dB is reached the unit automatically silently
switches in a 14dB hardware pad on the input and changes the mic amps gain to
compensate. This allows a minimum gain setting of -4dB. When the pad is
switched in the letter ‘P’ will appear next to the gain setting on the display.
5. HEADPHONE VOLUMES
These two rotary level controls each adjust their own headphone output
volume. Turning the control clockwise increases the output level and turning
them anticlockwise reduces the level.
The gain of the headphone outputs is set such that with volume control set in its
centre position the gain is 0dB. With the volume control turned fully clockwise
the gain is 10dB and with it turned fully anticlockwise the gain is -40dB.
6. MIC A GAIN SWITCHES
Pressing these switches adjust the A microphone’s input gain up or down in 1dB
steps. The current actual gain being applied to the A microphone input will be
displayed on the LCD display.
Once the minimum gain of 10dB is reached the unit automatically silently
switches in a 14dB hardware pad on the input and changes the mic amps gain to
compensate. This allows a minimum gain setting of -4dB. When the pad is
switched in the letter ‘P’ will appear next to the gain setting on the display.
7. MIC A PH PWR
This switch turns on/ off 48V phantom power to the A microphone’s input.
When the switch is in the down position then phantom power is turned on.
8. INPUT SELECT SWITCH
Pressing this switch toggles the headphone and analogue outputs between the
A/B microphone inputs. The LEDs next to the switch indicate which microphone
input is currently active.
Rather than providing a coarse direct switch between the two inputs when this
front panel select switch is operated a quick and clean cross fade is performed
between the two microphone inputs.
If this switch is pressed and held for more than three seconds then both
microphone inputs will be turned on together. When in this mode then the next
time the select switch is pressed the unit will revert to the A microphone input.
