1.

Mic/Line Input Switches

 Individual switches for each input channel select between mic and

line level in.

2.

Phantom Power Switches

 Individual switches for each input channel activate/deactivate

+48 Volt phantom power. Some microphones require phantom power to operate. However, do
not apply phantom power except for microphones that are equipped to operate on phantom
power. Check the microphone operating manual if you are not certain. For phantom power XLR
connector wiring, see Right Panel section of this manual.

3.

VU Meter Intensity Switch

Controls brightness of VU meter LED display located on the

front panel. Select HIGH for high visibility outdoors. Select LOW to conserve battery.

4.

Tape Return Level Control

Adjustable amplifiers allow matching to the vast majority of

video cameras and other recording equipment for monitoring tape confidence heads. Use a
small flat blade or phillips screwdriver to adjust the level for the best match. Many
consumer/prosumer DV camcorders may not provide tape confidence heads. However, tape
return is still valuable for checking for bad cable connections etc.

5.

Mic/Line Output Switches

 One switch for both XLR outputs switches between mic and line

level out.

6.

Feet

These are supplied to protect the unit from wear for table top use. If you wish to

remove the feet, remove the feet and reinstall the existing screws.
