SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
The preamp 077 offers a variety of special functions in order to allow a personalized configuration of the device.
Most functions are adjustable in the SETUP MENUS.
RECORD output Through factory settings the OUTPUT REC (22) of the preamp 077 is preset to be
connected to an analog tape recorder. Meaning, the recording volume is fixed.
If required, this setting can be changed. The RECORD output can be programmed as
additional volume controllable preamp output. In this setting, it is possible to provide a
second room with music. The REC output is able to reproduce a different source than the
MAIN output and is volume controllable in itself.
To change the output from FIXED to VARIABLE you have to go to the RECORD SETUP in
submenu REC.
For specific instructions please refer to THE SETUP MENU/ RECORD SETUP.
SURROUND input Through factory settings the SURR/INPUT 6 (23) of the preamp 077 is preset as a
SURROUND input. The signal is transported directly to the MAIN output, avoiding volume
control and all amp stages.
If you prefer not to connect a surround decoder, you can use the input as regular high-level
input with volume control (like INPUT 1 to 5). Adjustment options are available in the MAIN
SETUP in submenu M-IN6.
For specific instructions please refer to THE SETUP MENUS / MAIN SETUP.
PLEASE NOTICE: In RECORD level INPUT 6 is always a regular high-level input.
Volume scale Through factory settings the volume steps are set to the BURMESTER curve. The volume
indicator is divided into steps between 0 (mute) to 60 (maximum volume).
You may change the setting to dB steps. This can be adjusted individually for the MAIN and
RECORD level.
Adjustment options are available in the MAIN SETUP in submenu M-SCALE. The
adjustment for the RECORD level can be found in the RECORD SETUP in submenu R-
SCALE.
For specific instructions please refer to THE SETUP MENUS/ MAIN SETUP and RECORD
SETUP respectively.
Output amplification Through factory settings the entire volume of the preamp 077 is set to a maximum
amplification of +5dB (factor 1.8). This preset should be maintained if you are operating
your system with BURMESTER power amps, which have a high input sensitivity. If you are
operating the preamp 077 with power amps or active speakers with low input sensitivity, it is
possible to change the maximum amplification to +21 dB (factor 11.2).
Adjustment options are available in the MAIN SETUP in submenu M-OUT.
For specific instructions please refer to THE SETUP MENUS/ MAIN SETUP.
NOTICE: The RECORD level has a maximum amplification of +5dB (factor 1.8) when set to
preamp function. The amplification of the RECORD level cannot be adjusted.
At fixed volume the signal is put through to the RECORD output without any influence of the
preamp.
Input sensitivity Through factory settings all inputs are set to the same input sensitivity. As experience has
shown, connected reproducers deliver different output levels. Therefore, it is possible to
decrease every input of the preamp 077 up to -6 dB (factor 2) or to increase it up to 12 dB
(factor 4) in order to adjust the different volumes of your sources.
Adjustment options are available in the GLOBAL SETUP in submenu INPUT LEVEL.
For specific instructions please refer to THE SETUP MENUS/ GLOBAL SETUP.
