Power Requirements

The MXL Revelation Solo uses an EF86 tube that requires a dedicated power sup-
ply unit (included with your microphone). Even if your mixer has phantom power, it is 
recommended that you defeat the phantom power as a precautionary measure when it 
is not needed to power other mics that you might also be using.

This supply is switchable between 110 volts and 220 volts AC. In North America, the 
microphone ships in the 110 volts AC position and in the 220 Volts AC position for 
export. However, you always want to ensure that the power supply voltage is correctly 
set for your local voltage as permanent damage to the microphone and/or power supply 
may occur if the incorrect voltage setting is selected. Every Marshall Electronics MXL 
microphone has been thoroughly checked before shipping; so if you do not hear sound, 
check that the power supply is switched on.

Caution

Do not “hot plug” the mic. Always ensure that the power supply is off when plugging 
and unplugging the included 7-pin cable from the microphone to avoid damaging the 
microphone and power supply.
