INPUT – 
The ML-200 is equipped with a standard ¼” unbalanced input. Input sensitivity can be switched 
from approximately 300 mV to 1.25 volt. The input impedance is 500k ohms. The precision input 
scaling preamp contains a 36 Hz, 12 dB/octave high pass filter (more effective and less intrusive than 
the more common 6 dB filters) and an “RFI” filter (radio frequency interference) to  eliminate unwanted 
noise. The input gain stage consists of a feedback type circuit that provides continuously variable gain 
with minimal noise. 
 
TUNER OUPUT  – 
The ML-200 is equipped with a parallel and fully isolated tuner output. This jack is 
located after the front end scaling preamplifier, is pre-signal shape and pre-eq and may also be used to 
drive a separate direct box or high impedance recording device.
 
 
SIGNAL SHAPE
  – 
The ML-200 is equipped with 3 signal shape circuits that are factory programmed. 
The LOW BOOST adds low frequency peaking gain in the 38-67 HZ band. This filter is especially 
effective when used with a 5 string bass. The MID SCOOP switch generates midrange cut, the SIGNAL 
ATTACK adds a peaking high frequency boost in the 2.25-8kHz band. LED indicators are provided to 
visually show when each filter is engaged. 
 
EFFECTS LOOP – 
The ML-200 is equipped with an effects loop, allowing commonly used “series” type 
effects (such as compression/limiting units) or parallel effects (such as chorus or  flange units that 
contain an on-board “mix” control). The location of the effects loop is post signal shape and pre-
equalization. The signal is routed through the loop automatically if an effects unit is not plugged in. An 
additional feature of the effects loop is that the effects send jack can be used as a post-signal shape, 
pre-EQ line output. Plugging into the effects return jack will break the signal path and provides for a pre-
EQ line input. 
 
ACTIVE EQUALIZATION  –  T
he ML-200 contains an active 3 band equalizer with sweepable 
parametric midrange control. This equalizer, similar to those found on professional sound consoles, is 
a very useful tool. The low frequency EQ section is an 80 Hz, shelving curve with 15dB of cut or boost. 
The high frequency eq section is a 3.5 kHz, shelving curve with 15dB of cut or boost The parametric 
sweepable-mid section features 12 dB of cut or boost with a bandwidth approximately 1 octave wide. 
The center frequency of this filter is continuously user adjustable from 150 Hz to 2 kHz with a single 
control. This filter is typically (but not always) used to reduce or remove offending frequencies in the 
instrument’s pick-up response, or boosting response to achieve a particular voicing. Spend some time 
experimenting so that the process becomes creative as well as corrective. 
 
MASTER VOLUME  – 
The master volume control adjusts the overall volume of the amplifier and the 
effects return. Typically, best results are obtained when this control is operated between the 9:00 and 
3:00 positions. 
 
DIRECT OUTPUTS – 
The ML 200 is equipped with a high quality balanced direct output with ground 
lift switch for pin 1. The output level is –10dB nominal line level, pin 2 hot, and the output impedance is 
600 ohm. The direct output is fully protected from mixers providing phantom power up to 48 volts. 
 
POWER AMPLIFIER – 
The ML 200 features our DUAL OUTPUT DESIGN which contains two separate 
advanced monolithic power amplifier circuits that are fully protected against overloads, short circuits 
and thermal faults. Output is rated at 100 watts per channel into 4 ohms (dual mode), and 200 watts 
into 8 ohms (bridged mono mode) with excellent overload recovery characteristics. A unique feature of 
this amplifier is the “on silicon” temperature sensor that automatically tracks and adjusts the amplifier’s 
operating and protection parameters, a very cool feature that increases product reliability 10-fold over 
conventional designs. With the Mode Switch in the dual position, only the dual speaker jacks are 
active. With the Mode Switch in the bridged mono position only the bridged mono jack is active. Driving 
speaker loads below the amplifiers rated minimum load (4 ohms each channel in dual mode and 8 
ohms in the mono bridged mode) will result in distortion and possibly  intermittent operation as the 
protection circuits are activated.
