3. POWER SOURCES AND POWER CORD PROTECTION The STT-1 Power Supply should be connected to a power source only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the Power Supply. Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by having objects placed on it. -

The STT-1 enclosure measures approximately 19" wide x 3.5" high x 15.5" deep and is designed for mounting into a standard 2U, 19" equipment rack. If the STT-1 is mounted in a road case or other rack which is prone to strong vibration or shock, it is highly recommended that the rear of the STT-1 be supported or otherwise reinforced to withstand such conditions. - Page 5 The STT-1 has three other 'main' outputs: (1) monolithic XLR balanced, (2) discrete 100% Class-A 1/4" unbal, and (3) discrete 100% Class-A XLR unbalanced. Main outputs sit at the back end of the STT-1, following all functions. An additional RCA phono jack provides a linking function for stereo operation of two STT-1 Dynamics sections.
- Page 6 Conventional three pin male XLR connector providing balanced, line level output from all stages of the STT-1. Can be used simultaneously with all other outputs. Pin 1 is ground. Pin 2 is positive polarity. Pin 3 is negative polarity. This monolithic-based, balanced line level output is capable of driving <600 ohm loads and long, high capacitance cables and has a maximum output level of +32 dBu.

- Page 8 Conventional three pin male XLR connector providing unbalanced, line level output from all stages of the STT-1. Can be used simultaneously with all other outputs. This XLR sits directly above the 1/4" unbalanced output connector. Pin 1 is ground. Pin 2 is positive polarity. Pin 3 is ground. This output is all discrete, pure Class-A, and is capable of driving <...
- Page 9 (SS). When used as a microphone preamp, the solid state amplifier is essentially identical to the front-end found on Millennia's acclaimed HV-3 — used by a who's who in critical acoustic record- ing worldwide. The vacuum tube amplifier is essentially identical to the front-end of Millennia's sublime M-2b.
- Page 10 A pushbutton switch which, when depressed and illuminated, places the Millennia MIT-01 audio path trans- former in the front-end circuit. When used with high level signals, such as when using a pair of STT-1 units for mixdown applications, the engineer may notice a marked 'enhancement' in sonic signature when the trans- former is inserted.
- Page 11 Pushbutton switch which places its associated EQ band in circuit or out of circuit. There are four bands of equalization on the STT-1 Origin. The four frequency bands are labeled LF (low frequencies), LM (low-mid frequencies [20 Hz - 2.5 kHz]), HM (high-mid frequencies [250 Hz - 25 kHz]), and HF (high frequencies).

Page 13: Compressor / Limiter Section
CCW , the fastest attack time is achieved (2 mS). When fully CW , the slowest attack time is achieved (100 mS). Opto-resistive gain reduction, as found in the Origin STT-1, is ideal for vir- tually all program material, including tracking of vocals, guitars, keyboards, and most acoustic music. - Page 14 When fully CCW , the lowest and most gentle compression ratio is achieved (1.4:1). When fully CW , the highest and most pronounced compression ratio is achieved (30:1). A compression ratio of approximately 10:1 or higher is typically called "limiting" hence the STT-1 dynamics section is properly called a "compressor/limiter."...
