PASSIVE 4 OUT PREAMP SELECTOR BUILT IN 48V PHANT

The dark red Cherry Picker is slightly simpler than the Gold Digger, as each output channel has only two push buttons associated with it. A small white momentary button with a green 'selected' LED determines to which output the source signal is routed, while a second latching white button lifts the pin-1 ground connection of the corresponding output XLR to avoid ground loops. In contrast to the Gold Digger, the selector buttons on the Cherry Picker work immediately, with the signal path being made as soon as the relevant button is pressed in, rather than on its release! There are also two buttons on the left-hand side of the front panel associated with the input source. A white latching push-button mutes the input signal, while an adjacent recessed button provides 48V phantom power — and both have red warning LEDs. The Cherry Picker routes a source — be it a microphone or a line-level device — to any one of four destinations, so it can be used to send the output from a microphone to any of four different preamps, or even to four different talkback destinations, for example. Alternatively, you could use it to send the output from a mic preamp to different recorder channels, or different outboard effects processors... and whatever else you can imagine! This is a superbly versatile little unit that works extremely well, with glitch-free instant switching.
