PHANTOM (+48V) buttons/indicators
Use these buttons to turn phantom power on/off for MIC/

The PHANTOM indicators light when phantom power is
turned on for each set of inputs.

power is ON (indicator lit) for E-H, INPUT H will not receive
phantom power.

fader to lower the output volume of the
unit before turning phantom power on or off. Depending
on the microphone, a loud noise could occur, possibly
damaging equipment and harming people's hearing.
• Do not connect or disconnect a microphone when phantom
power is turned on.
• Turn phantom power on only when using a condenser
microphone that requires phantom power.
• Do not supply phantom power to an unbalanced dynamic
microphone.
• Supplying phantom power to some types of ribbon
microphones could break them. Do not supply phantom
power to a ribbon microphone if you are in doubt.
