Introduction
The Strymon PCH is an advanced stereo active direct interface designed for musicians and audio professionals. It provides a transparent signal path for instruments like guitars, keyboards, and synthesizers, allowing direct connection to mixing consoles or recording interfaces. The PCH also features a studio-grade headphone amplifier for personal monitoring and silent practice.
This manual provides detailed instructions for setting up, operating, and maintaining your Strymon PCH to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Негизги өзгөчөлүктөрү
- Advanced Direct Interface: Offers a transparent stereo active direct interface for various instruments.
- Console-Quality Headphone Ampөмүр берүүчү: Камтылган гарнитура amp for detailed stereo monitoring or silent practice, capable of driving high-impedance headphones.
- Virtually Unclippable Design: Internal power circuit boosts standard 9V DC to 24V for massive headroom.
- Flexible Pro Outputs: Supports stereo or dual mono operation with stereo XLR outputs, switchable mic/line level, and ground lift. Stereo Thru outputs include a mono sum ability.
- Күчтүү түзүлүш: Housed in a durable extruded aluminum chassis for silent operation and flat frequency response.
Жайгашуу
Follow these steps to set up your Strymon PCH:
- Кубат туташуу: Connect a standard 9V DC power supply (center-negative) to the 9VDC input jack on the PCH. The unit will internally boost this to 24V for optimal performance.
- Аспап киргизүү: Connect your instrument (guitar, synth, keyboard, etc.) to the IN (Left/Right) 1/4" input jacks. For mono instruments, use the Left IN jack.
- Thru Outputs: Use the THRU (Left/Right) 1/4" jacks to send the input signal to other devices, such as an amplifier or pedalboard. The THRU outputs can be summed to mono using the 'sum stereo' switch if desired.
- XLR чыгуулары: Connect the LEFT OUT and RIGHT OUT XLR jacks to your mixing console, audio interface, or PA system.
- Гарнитура туташуу: Plug your headphones into the PHONES 1/4" stereo jack for personal monitoring.

Операция
Understanding the controls of your PCH is essential for optimal sound routing and monitoring.
- PHONES Volume Knob: Adjusts the output level for the connected headphones. Rotate clockwise to increase volume, counter-clockwise to decrease.
- SUM (THRU) Switch: This switch affects the THRU outputs.
- деп коюлганда 'sum', the Left and Right input signals are summed to mono and sent to both THRU outputs.
- деп коюлганда 'stereo', the Left input goes to the Left THRU, and the Right input goes to the Right THRU.
- LEVEL (XLR Outputs) Switch: Located near the XLR outputs, this switch selects the output level for the XLR connections.
- Төмөнкүгө коюу 'mic' for connecting to microphone preamps or inputs expecting a mic-level signal.
- Төмөнкүгө коюу 'line' for connecting to line-level inputs on mixers or audio interfaces.
- GROUND (XLR Outputs) Lift Switch: This switch helps eliminate hum and noise caused by ground loops.
- Төмөнкүгө коюу 'lift' to disconnect the ground connection between the PCH and the connected device via XLR.
- Төмөнкүгө коюу 'gnd' (ground) for a standard ground connection. If you experience hum, try switching to 'lift'.
