No USB power adapter is included with an iPod touch. To use it with an
iPod touch, purchase a genuine Apple USB power adapter (that can sup-
ply 5 V and a current of at least 700 mA) separately.
i
Operation with other external battery packs and USB power adapters
is possible, but we strongly recommend using a TASCAM PS-P520E AC
adapter, TASCAM BP-6AA external battery pack or the genuine Apple USB
power adapter included with the iPad/iPhone.
When using another external battery pack or USB power adapter, be sure
that the power supply device meets the following specifications.
o
Supplied voltage: 5 V
o
Supplied current: 700 mA or more
Using a power supply device when the specifications are other than the

CAUTION
i
Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment to be con-
nected off (standby).
i
The phantom power affects both input channels simultaneously. Do not
turn phantom power on when connecting a mic that does not require
phantom power.
i
Set the phantom power switch to +48V only when using a condenser
microphone that requires phantom power.
i
Turning phantom power +48V when a dynamic mic or other mic that
does not require it is connected could damage this unit and connected
equipment.
i
Do not connect or disconnect mics while phantom power is on. Doing
so could cause a loud noise and might damage this unit and connected
equipment.
i
Set the LINE OUT and PHONES knobs to their minimum values before
turning phantom power on/off. Depending on the connected mics, sud-
den loud noises from monitoring equipment could occur, and this could
damage the equipment or harm hearing.
i
When using condenser mics that require phantom power and dynamic
mics together, be sure to use balanced dynamic mics. Unbalanced dy-
namic mics cannot be used when phantom power is enabled.
i
Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics will break them. If you
are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a ribbon mic.
Connecting with iOS devices
To connect an iOS device, you will need a Lightning to USB Camera Adapt-
er(*1) and an external power supply device(*2).
*1 You must obtain a genuine Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter
separately.
*2 Use a power supply device as described in “Connecting the power” in
this manual.
