require phantom power.
Caution: When phantom power is switched on‚ make sure that any channel you are plugging a micro-
phone into is turned down and the Master Main and Monitor controls are set to minimum. Otherwise‚
there will be a loud pop in the system. For best results, first plug all microphones into their respective
channels before phantom power is switched on. This reduces noise through the system and reduces the
chance of damage to the microphones. If phantom power is used‚ do not connect unbalanced‚ dynamic
microphones or other devices to the XLR inputs that cannot handle this voltage. (Some wireless receiv-
ers may be damaged. Consult their manuals.) The line input jacks are not connected to the phantom
supply and are safe for all inputs (balanced or unbalanced). An unbalanced to balanced impedance
converter such as the Peavey 5116 or a Peavey 1:1 Interface Adapter may also be used to isolate a micro-
phone from phantom voltage.

NOTE: Do not connect a single device to the Media In (12a/12b) and Record Out (32). This improper
setup forms a loop, which can cause severe feedback. Use separate devices for recording and playback.
FOOTSWITCH
This 1/4” TRS (tip ring sleeve) jack accepts a momentary 1/4” TRS dual button footswitch (Peavey part

MONITOR OUT
This 1/4” jack provides a signal from the monitor mix (4) for an external power amplifier. An external
power amplifier, such as our IPR
®
series of amplifiers, can then drive additional monitor speakers.
MAIN OUT
This 1/4” jack provides a signal from the main mix (after the graphic EQ) for an external power amplifier.
An external power amp, such as our IPR series of amplifiers, can then drive additional speakers.
