INPUT jacks 1–8
Connect line-level electronic instruments, such as a synthesizer, and microphones to these analog input jacks.
Inputs 1–2 are both XLR-type and TRS phone jacks, and inputs 3–8 are TRS phone jacks. All of them accept
balanced and unbalanced signals.
2
[PHANTOM POWER] switch
This switch su48V phantom power to Inputs 1 and 2 (when XLR-type jacks are used). Turn on this
switch when you connect a condenser microphone or direct box that needs external phantom power.
➸
NOTE :
Before turning the
[PHANTOM POWER]
switch on or off, make sure that all channel faders are
lowered or the power to the DPS16 is turned off.
3
GUITAR/NORMAL switch
This switch enables you to select input impedance for Input 8. Turn this switch to GUITAR to connect a high-
impedance electric guitar, and turn this to NORMAL to connect a low-impedance microphone or line-level
device.
4
OVER indicators
These indicators light up when the signals input from Input jacks 1–8 clip.
