Title: Oade mod ua-5 RCA in ??
Post by: BCostigan on May 31, 2004, 03:36:04 PM

I've gotten some conflicting reports on the RCA in on the ua-5.  ANyone know for sure if on an oade mod ua-5:


Is there any gain on the rca in?

Does the level control in the back just attenuate the RCA in signal?

Does the RCA signal pass through the warm/pres mod of the ua-5?

I've searched the board and while I found lots of talk in general I often couldn't tell if the ua-5 being talked about was an oade or DIY.

Thanks!

From the manual on the UA-5:

Nominal Input Level (variable)
Input1/2: -50 -- +0 dBu,
Input3/4: -10 dBu


That would mirror what I found, on RCA it works as an attenuator.  (1/2 are on the front, 3/4 is on the back)

Oade has said the RCA's gain stage is improved after a warm/presence mod.
dont know if it attenuates or adds gain on the RCa though
