Phantom Power

Before using any setup configuration, determine the type
of microphone you are using:

Dynamic microphone: phantom power off.
Condenser microphone: phantom power on.

Enabling Phantom Power:

1. Confirm that your sound system master level is off.

2. Connect Create's power adapter to main power
and to the Power Input on Create.

3. Press and hold Performance Buttons 1 and 2
simultaneously until the Phantom Power Light comes on.
To turn phantom power off, repeat this step.

Setup Configurations

Set your sound system level to off when you are
turning phantom power on/off as it can create a
“pop” sound in your speakers.
