NEL CONTROLS FRONT Each gain control has 11 positions and adjusts the voltage on the microphone input from 10dB to 60dB in 5dB steps. When using the instrument input, the gain range is – B to 40dB in 5dB steps. If you ordered the high gain version of the 101 for use with ribbon microphones , the gain range of your unit on the microphone input is 20dB to 70dB in 5dB steps and the gain range of the instrument input is 0dB to 50dB in 5 dB steps. The trim control provides 10dB of continuous
