(XLR or 1/4” / 6.35 mm): Use standard XLR or 1/4” (6.35 mm) TRS cables to
connect these inputs to audio sources (microphone, mixer, synthesizer, etc.). When using
a 1/4" cable, the Mic preamp is removed from the circuit, and the
Line/Inst
switch
can
be used
to set the impedance.
Turn the
Gain
knobs to set the input level of each one.
8.
Gain:
Use these knobs to adjust the gain of the incoming signal from
Input 1
/
2
on the
rear panel. Be careful when setting this knob at higher levels, which can cause the signal
to distort.

Line/Inst:
Use these switches to set
Input 1/2
to accept either a Line-level or Instrument-
level sound source when using a 1/4" connection.
10.
Phantom Power
(
+48V
): This switch activates and deactivates phantom power for
Inputs 1
/

when using an XLR connection. When activated, +48V of phantom power will
be supplied to both inputs. Note that most dynamic microphones do
not
require
phantom power, while most condenser microphones
do
. Refer to your microphone’s
documentation to check if it needs phantom power.
11.
Outputs

outputs to your monitors, mixer, etc.). The
Master L
/
R
outputs are the same as
Outputs
1,2
.
12.

to-MIDI adapter to connect a standard 5-pin MIDI cable from this output to the MIDI input
of an external MIDI device (synthesizer, drum machine, etc.).
13.
MIDI In

Connect compatible 1/8" MIDI devices to this thru-port, or use the included
1/8"-to-MIDI adapter to connect a standard 5-pin MIDI cable from this input to the MIDI
