Some microphones will require phantom power in order to function. This is 
48 volts of power that is sent via the XLR cable and this powers up the mi-
crophone and allows it to work. 

Microphones that require phantom power are typically condenser 
microphones. In rare cases, microphones can be damaged by providing 
phantom power to them so we’d recommend checking the documentation 
for your microphone to see if you need to provide phantom power or not. 

To enable phantom power on EVO 4, simply press the channel button you 
wish to use phantom power on and then press the 48v button. This will then 
remain lit red to remind you that you have phantom power on. 

Phantom Power

48V

The two inputs of EVO 4 can be stereo linked, which allows you to match the 
gain for both left and right channels at the same level. 

This would be used when recording an instrument using two microphones, 
such as a piano or guitar, or if inputting a stereo line signal like a synth or DJ 
decks. 

To do this, press down the 1 and 2 buttons at the same time.
