Chameleon Labs 7602 Details
Based on the NEVE 1073 channel strip, the Chameleon Labs 7602 is a great low cost way to capture a classic sound.The 7602 is based on designs that have stood the test of time and built with the budget conscious in mind. This Classic design features a DI, Phantom Power, 3 Band EQ, Phase Reversal, and Mic/Line Inputs. Requires the CPS-1 power supply.

Chameleon Labs 7602 Features
Your Chameleon Labs 7602 microphone preamplifier has a transformer balanced input with a range between 20dB and 80 dB of gain. The separate line input is transformer balanced and accepts input levels from -20 to +10dB. The equalizer section is a selectable 3 band design with a flexible filter section. The Chameleon Labs 7602 has been carefully constructed and individually tested for quality. It utilizes pure class ‘A’ circuitry. This unit is made with 100% discrete components, hand wound transformers and was fabricated to precisely match vintage counterparts manufactured in the early to mid 70’s. The Chameleon Labs 7602 is based on high audio performance design techniques. By employing classic circuit design, polystyrene capacitors, a gold contact gain selector and custom wound transformers Chameleon Labs ensures that the Chameleon Labs 7602 will exhibit classic audio sound.

• Signal Input and Output - There is a 1/4-inch front panel instrument input jack that will accept a guitar directly into this 100k input impedance jack, the DI switch selects which connector is routed into the equipment. On the rear panel, there is an XLR mic input connector, an XLR line input connector and an XLR line output jack as well as the DC power input connector.All connections on the Model 7602 are transformer balanced with pin 2 on all XLR connectors being hot.
• Power Supply - The 7602 is designed to be used with the Chameleon power supply. Use of any other power supply may damage the 7602 electronics and void the warranty. The Chameleon power supply will properly power two Model 7602 units. The power pin is wired as follows:
  • Chassis and audio ground
  • +48 volt
  • +24 volt
  • -24 volt
• DI Button -This button routes the Direct Input jack into the unit.
• 48V Button - This button supplies 48 V.D.C. (Phantom Power) to the Microphone Input XLR jack.
• EQ Button -This button turns the equalizer section on.
• Ø Button - This button reverses the phase of the unit 90°.
• Filter - This is a high pass filter with 3db loss at 300Hz, 160Hz, 80Hz, and 50Hz with an 18dbcut per octave slope.
• Low Equalization - This section has a shelving slope with four frequency selections: 220Hz, 110Hz, 60Hz, 35Hz. This equalizer affects the selected frequency and all others below it.
• Mid Equalization -This section has a peaking characteristic with six frequency selections: 360Hz, 700Hz, 1.6k, 3.2k, 4.8k, and 7.2k. The gain control provides 20db of boost or cut.
• High Equalization - This section has a shelving characteristic with five frequency selections: 16k, 12k, 7k, 4.9k and 3.4k . This section adjusts the selected frequency and all others above it. The gain control provides 20db of boost or cut.
• Microphone / Line sensitivity -This pot controls input level for the microphone and line inputs. The microphone and line inputs have their own input connectors on the rear panel and a separate input transformer. Each rear input has its own section of the control on the input gain selector switch. The microphone section provides 20 to 80db of boost in 5db steps, and the line section provides +10 to -20db of adjustment.
• Output - Acting as a console fader, this control is placed after the gain stage and before the output stage. This allows for trimming of the input signal between the 5db steps of the input switch, as well as allowing the input to be intentionally overdriven. The normal position for this control is wide open.
