Award Session AP10 User manual

Additional Information
Male XLR Output - The XLR chassis plug provided will mate with any standard microphone cable
wired for ‘balanced’ signals. The signal is high quality equal to that of a balanced line, but is an un-
ballanced signal. It is identical to to that appearing on the JACK output, tip connection.
XLR Output Pin Connections -
The signal appearing in PIN 2 is IN PHASE with the signal appearing on the TIP contact of the JACK
output.
Note to our American customers:
The AP10 Acoustic PreAmp is known as the GG10 in Europe. In the interests of conservancy, please
transpose all references to GG10 to AP10. The products are otherwise totally identical and is exactly
the same as the AP10 formerly available under the MORLEY brand except for the male XLR ouput
connector.
Thanks for your assistance in saving materials and costs.

Rear Panel Facilities
1. OUTPUT- Lo-Z to drive long cables without tone/volume loss.
2. POWER CONNECTOR - To connect an AC Adaptor.
3. XLR OUTPUT - to connect to desk/board via a mic cable.
4. TUNER OUTPUT - Full time, buffered signal to drive a tuner
5. INPUT - Mega-Z circuitry to eliminate pickup loading.
AC Adaptor Operation - AP10 runs on ANY adaptor giving a POSITIVE or
NEGATIVE output between 9 and 16 volts DC. AP10 is equipped with circuitry
that senses the incoming voltages and AUTOMATICALLY adjusts itself internally.
NO HARM CAN BE DONE BY USE OF INCORRECT AC ADAPTORS,
providing the above guidelines are adhered to.
AP10 will run on a 9 volt Alkaline battery when an AC adaptor is not convenient.
Remove the four outside screws holding the base to the top. The battery will be
found inside.
