Introduction

6-Channel stereo preamplifiers

The PRE1xx series are simple but versatile preamplifiers, offering a multifunctional solution

for installations where multiple voice and music sources need to be mixed to one or two

(only PRE126) output zones. The stereo design with six inputs allows connecting any type

of audio source such as microphones, portable devices with Bluetooth and various balanced

or unbalanced line level audio sources.

Channels one and two are balanced inputs, allowing connection of microphone and line level

audio sources. They feature 3-band tone control, phantom power and talk over for priority

announcements. The other inputs are one balanced and three unbalanced stereo line inputs

allowing connection of any line level audio sources.

An integrated Bluetooth receiver and a front panel 3.5mm jack offers convenient wired

or wireless connection possibilities for mobile and portable devices including laptops,

smartphones and tablets.

A master volume control for the output(s) including 2-band tone control and LED VU bar is

located on the front panel, also accommodating each inputs mixing dial. On the back of the

preamplifier is a priority mute contact that suppresses all (non-priority) music sources in

case of contact closure, allowing linking autonomous alarm systems.

Front & rear panel

Front panel overview

Front panel description

Input mixing controls:

Using the input mixing controls, the individual level for each input can be adjusted. Each

input control is provided with a clip indicator LED which illuminates when the maximum level

(clipping) is almost reached. To ensure the best signal-to-noise ratio, illumination of this

indicator should only occur at peak levels. When it illuminates frequently, the channel will

be overdriven and a distorted ‘clipping’ sound will occur.

Signal routing selection buttons (only PRE126):

The signal routing buttons located on the right side of each input mixing control (indicated

with ‘Z1’ and ‘Z2’) are used for selection for routing each input to one or both output channels

(only PRE126). Press this button to enable the input routing to the corresponding output. The

corresponding routing indicator LED illuminates when routed.

Bluetooth (CH3):

The integrated Bluetooth receiver is mixed with channel 3, and contains a pairing button

besides the input mixing control. This allows connection of the pre-amplifier with any

supporting audio source device such as smartphone or tablet. The LED positioned on top of

this button indicates the current operation mode. When non illuminating, the device cannot

be discovered by (new) Bluetooth devices. When blinking, the device is not connected but

can be discovered by Bluetooth devices, and when illuminated it is connected and doesn’t

allow pairing with another device.

When pairing with your device for the first time, the ‘PAIR’ button should be pressed and the

LED will start blinking for about 2 minutes. During this period, the device can be discovered

and is indicated as Bluetooth ID ‘AUDAC PRE series’. When both devices have been paired

before, the transmitter will be recognized by the receiver and it will allow continuous pairing

without pressing the ‘PAIR’ button.
