+10 Indicator (Channels 1~8 & Aux): These red LEDs will light
whenever channel signal levels reach +10dB (8dB below clipping).
Use this feature to aid in adjusting the Trim controls (see below).
Trim (Channels 1~8): These screw-driver adjustable controls set
the channel gain (0~60dB) to compensate for different input signal
levels. For best performance, adjust these controls so the channel
+10 indicators flash only on occasional peaks. If input signal
exceeds the normal operating range of the Trim control, assign the
rear panel Pad switch (see DIP switches on next page).
Level (Channels 1~8 & Aux): These controls adjust the amount of
signal sent from the individual input channels to the mixer output
section. Optimum Level settings are near the 12 o'clock position
(unity gain).
Bass: This control provides low-frequency tonal adjustment
(±10dB @ 100Hz) for signals at Main Patch & Main Output.
Treble: This control provides high-frequency tonal adjustment
(±10dB @ 10kHz) for signals at Main Patch & Main Output.

-20 Indicator: This red LED will light whenever signal levels reach
-20dB (signal present) at Main Output.
Master: This control adjusts the level of overall signal sent to
Main Output. Optimum Master settings are near the 12 o’clock
position (unity gain) or below.
Threshold: A limiter is provided at Main Output to help eliminate
unwanted peaks in signal level. This screw-driver adjustable
control sets the level at which the limiter will be activated. For
most applications, set Threshold so the limiter is activated only by
occasional peaks. Counter-clockwise adjustment lowers
Threshold, increasing the amount of limiting. Clockwise
adjustment raises Threshold, decreasing the amount of limiting.
Threshold is factory set fully clockwise, effectively removing the
limiter from operation.
Limit: This red LED will light whenever signal levels exceed the
threshold, thereby activating the limiter.
On Indicator: When the power transformer is plugged in, and AC
power is applied to the 801, the red On indicator remains lit.

AC Power Cord: The power transformer provides 27 Volts AC to
the mixer, and is detachable via a 5-pin DIN connector. The mixer
has two internal ‘self-resetting’ fuses (there are no user
serviceable parts inside the unit). If the internal fuses blow, they
will attempt to re-set after a short period. However, this may be an
indication that the mixer requires service.
DC Out: This 6-pin RJ11 modular jack supplies ±12 Volts DC
(100mA max.) for powering certain other BIAMP products, or other
external devices (see product manuals for power considerations).
Manual triggering of Channel 1 Override
is also provided at the DC
Out jack, by shorting pins 3 & 6 together using an external contactclosure (see Options on pg. 4). Channel 1 Override can be
triggered automatically, by signal present in Channel 1, as well
(see Master DIP switches below).
Main Output: This plug-in barrier strip provides the balanced linelevel Main Output from the mixer. An output isolation transformer
(model IT-B) is available as a user installed option (see Options on
pg. 4). For balanced connection, wire high (+), low (-), and ground
(
). For unbalanced connection, wire high (+) and ground (),
leaving (-) unconnected. Signal level will be reduced by 6dB when
output is unbalanced. Main Output level is affected by the front
panel Master control, as well as by remote control (see Remote
below).
Stack In: This plug-in barrier strip provides the balanced line-level
Stack In to the mixer. Signal entering here is combined with
signals from the input channels, and is then sent to the Main
Output section. When using multiple 801 mixers within a system,
connect Main Output of one mixer to Stack In of the next mixer,
and so forth. All mixers except the final 801 should be assigned as
‘slaves’ (see Master DIP Switches below). For balanced
connection, wire high (+), low (-), and ground (

Remote: This plug-in barrier strip provides connection for an
optional remote master level control (model RP-L1) (see Options
on pg. 4). An external potentiometer (5k~50k ohm linear taper) or
external ramp voltage (0~+10VDC) can also be used.
Potentiometers are wired high (V), wiper (C), and low (
voltage is wired positive (C), and ground (

Main Patch: This 3-conductor TRS ¼” phone insert jack is for
connection of other BIAMP products or external devices at the
Main Output section. The Main Patch jack is pre-Master Level,
and is wired Tip (send), Ring (return), and Sleeve (ground).
Certain BIAMP products require a single TRS ¼” phone cable for
connection. Other devices may require a special ‘Y’ cable. If a
pre-Master Level output is desired, connect to Main Patch with Tip
& Ring (send) and Sleeve (ground).
Patch (Channels 1~8 & Aux): These 3-conductor TRS ¼” phone
insert jacks are for connection of other BIAMP products or external
devices to the individual input channels. Patch jacks are preChannel Level, and are wired Tip (send), Ring (return), and Sleeve
(ground). Certain BIAMP products require TRS ¼” phone cables
for connection. Other devices may require special ‘Y’ cables. If a
pre-Channel Level direct output is desired, connect to Patch with
Tip & Ring (send) and Sleeve (ground).
Input (Channels 1~8 & Aux): These plug-in barrier strips provide
the balanced mic/line Inputs to the mixer (Channels 1~8 only).

Override: Channel 1 Override can be manually triggered by an external switch wired across pins 3 & 6 of the DC Out jack (see diagram
on next page). Channel 1 Override can also be triggered automatically by signal present in Channel 1 (see Master DIP Switches on pg. 3).
When additional 801 mixers are being used (for more inputs), pins 3 & 6 of the various DC Out jacks can be wired together (in parallel).
This allows Channel 1 Override triggering (manual or automatic) to be transmitted to all 801 mixers in the system. The additional 801
mixers should be assigned as ‘slaves’ (see Master DIP Switches on pg. 3), which allows all
mixer) to be muted. If necessary, specific channels of the system may then be excluded from Channel 1 Override muting, by assigning
them as ‘priority’ channels (see DIP switches on pg. 3).
Remote: The output level of an 801 mixer can be remotely controlled via an external potentiometer (5k~50k ohm linear taper) or ramp
control voltage (0~+10VDC). An RP-L1 remote control panel is available as an option (see diagram on next page). Potentiometers are
wired high (V), wiper (C), and low (
). Ramp voltage is wired positive (C) and ground(). The Remote port of the 801 mixer must be
enabled before remote control of output level is possible (see Master DIP Switches on pg. 3). Remote control does not change physical
settings on the 801 mixer, it only attenuates from the maximum level settings established at the mixer.
48 Volt Phantom Power: The 801 mixer provides +24 Volts DC phantom power for condenser microphones (see DIP Switches on pg. 3).
Most modern electret condenser microphones can operate using a wide range of phantom power voltages (typically 9~52VDC). Only rare
circumstances (such as older or specialized microphones) will require anything greater than the standard +24VDC phantom power.
However, if these circumstances should arise, an optional +48 Volt DC phantom power supply is available (model 48VPS). To install the
optional 48VPS: simply separate the AC power cord at the ‘in-line’ DIN connector near the 801 chassis. Insert the 48VPS ‘in-line’ with the
power cord, mating the DIN connectors of the 48VPS to the appropriate gender DIN connectors from the 801 chassis & the wall-mount
power transformer. No other modification is needed. Phantom power is automatically converted to +48 Volts DC when selected at inputs.
NOTE: The 801 chassis must be disassembled before installing input/output transformers: 1) remove top panel (2 screws at bottom of
each side panel; 1 screw at top-center of front panel; 1 screw at top-center of rear panel). 2) remove screws from front panel (2 screws at
each end; 1 screw at bottom-center). 3) remove screws from rear panel (2 screws near Main Out/Remote connectors). 4) remove nuts &
washers from rear panel (10 nuts & washers on Channel & Main Patch jacks). 5) remove mounting screws from circuit board (9 screws in
front of input connectors; 2 screws behind channel 3 Level & master Treble controls). 6) gently pull circuit board forward (front panel
comes forward; connectors exit rear panel). 7) rotate front panel/circuit board upward, away from chassis (leave rear portion of circuit
board in chassis, being careful not to strain power cord connections).
Input Transformers: To install input transformers (see diagram on next page): 1) locate the transformer positions on the circuit board
(circle area located in front of input connector & DIP switches on each channel). 2) un-solder & remove the 2 capacitors located within
each of the appropriate circle areas. 3) install & solder an input transformer at each of the appropriate circle areas (transformer pin 1,
designated by a red dot, must be inserted into the proper hole, designated by a square).
Output Transformer: To install output transformer (see diagram on next page): 1) locate the transformer position on the circuit board
(rectangle area located in front of Main Output connector). 2) un-solder & remove the 2 capacitors located within the rectangle area. 3)
install & solder the output transformer at the rectangle area (transformer pin 1, designated by a red dot, must be inserted into the proper
hole, designated by a square).
