It is available only to the XLR MIC sockets. Never plug
in a microphone when phantom power is already on.
Before turning phantom power on, make sure that all
faders are totally down. In this way you will protect
your stage monitors and main loudspeakers. If this switch
activated, the LED next to the button will light up.

1 The MONO MIC/LINE Channels
This is where you connect external sound processors such
as compressor-limiter, equalizers, etc. The insert point is
available on the first 16 MIC channels only. For the other
channels you can always insert the processor in between
the sound source ( such as keyboard or drum machine )
and the APM input. The Insert sockets can be used as
direct-outs to feed the input of a 4-track tape recorder.
These are Channel 17/18 and 19/20. They are organised
in stereo pair and provided with 1/4" TRS phone sockets.
If you connect only the left jack, the input will operate in
mono mode, that is the mono signal will appear on both
input channels. You can use these inputs with a stereo
keyboard, drum machine, etc.

Your APM200 is equipped with 16 low-noise microphone preamplifiers with
optional phantom power, 45dB of Gain and over 115dB of S/N ratio. You can
connect almost any type of microphone. Dynamic microphones do not need
phantom power. Use phantom power only with condenser microphones but
make sure that the phantom power button is disengaged before connecting
the microphone. Phantom power will not damage your dynamic microphones,
so make sure to read the microphone instructions manual before engaging
phantom power. Use switch (4) to activate/deactivate phantom power. These
channels are also equipped with 1/4" TRS balanced/unbalanced LINE-IN plugs
to connect line-level instruments such as keyboards, drum machines and
effect devices.
