Channel On
Radio-style pushbutton switches automatically turn the selected mic on and the other microphones off to eliminate bleed. Activates the LED to let you know which channel is active.
Trim Adjust
Individual 'set & forget' trim controls let you quickly match the signal level between mics to ensure a fair and honest comparison.
Recessed Panel
Extended lip creates protective zone around the switches and controls when using the Gold Digger on stage or in less than ideal locations.
48V Phantom
Phantom power switch turns on 48 volts to power condenser microphones and active direct boxes. Recessed to protect against accidental ‘turn on’ that could damage vintage ribbon mics.
Cable Clamp
Locking cable clamp lets you secure the power cable to the Gold Digger to prevent accidental disconnection.
15VDC
Like professional mixers, the power supply is taken out of the box to reduce noise and ensure the most transparent signal flow.
14-Gauge Steel
Heavy duty construction eliminates stress on the PCB and provides excellent shielding against magnetic fields and RF which otherwise could introduce noise.
XLR Connectors
Used to connect microphones to the Gold Digger and the output to a preamp.
Pad
Full bottom no-slip neoprene foam pad provides electrical insulation and mechanical isolation for plenty of stay-put.
Isolated XLRs
Heavy duty glass-filled XLRs with nickel-silver contacts are stronger than steel and provide 100% isolation between channels to reduce noise and crosstalk.
Heavy Duty Switches
Both switches and potentiometers employ steel casings and shafts for long-term durability.
Gold Sealed Relays
Military spec relays are used to switch the microphones on and off for straight-wire signal path.
