MIC
Each mono input channel features a XLR balanced microphone input connector. The XLR connector
also carries +48V phantom power supply when the PHANTOM switch is pressed. The EVE preamps
provide undistorted and noise-free gain, typical of very expensive outboard preamps.
In order to prevent switch-on "thump" or "pop", please mute your sound system before activating
the phantom power supply. Please also read the instructions in chapters 1.3 (23).
2 LINE IN – BAL OR UNBAL
Each mono input also features a balanced TRs 6,35mm. (1/4") line input. Also unbalanced devices
(Ts cables) can be connected to these inputs.
Please note that you can only use either the microphone or the line input of a channel at
one time. You should never use both input connectors simultaneously!
3
TRIM – dB/dBu
Use the TRIM control to adjust the input gain. This control should always be turned fully counter-
clockwise whenever activating the PHANTOM switch and connecting or disconnecting a signal
source to the input.

EQUALIZER
All mono input channels include a 3-band equalizer, except for model EVE5; all bands provide boost
or cut of up to 15 dB. In knob central position, the equalizer is inactive. All the models have 12kHz
HIGH "shelving" and 80Hz LOW "shelving" controls. shelving means that the circuitry boosts or
cuts all the frequencies past the tuning frequency.
HIGH frequency control affects most instruments higher harmonics and transients. LOW frequency
control affects kick drum, bass guitar and lower octaves of piano and synths.
All models but EVE5 have 2.5kHz MID "peaking" control. Peaking means that the circuitry boosts
or cuts shaping an hill around that frequency. MID eq affects the higher frequencies of most
musical instruments and some singers voice. To obtain a good vocal result try even to cut the mid
on the other channel(s).
The 75Hz 18dB/oct. low cut filter is useful to reduce microphone pick-up of undesired lower
frequencies. In particular this filter can reduce stage noise and singer mic handling noises.
