You might be the guy standing ankle-deep in a pool of
salt water, trying to yank the grounding pin off your
mixer’s power cord so you can plug it into your 2-prong
ungrounded outdoor outlet. This manual is especially for
you!
1.2.2 Basic Set Up
The job of a microphone amplifier is to make a mic level
signal into a line level signal so that it can be recorded,
mixed or processed.
Plug a microphone into the
Mic Input Jack
on one of the
four preamps on the Mic Pre 4T using a microphone (XLR
Female to XLR Male) cable. If the mic you are using is a
condenser microphone that requires phantom power,
push in the
+48 Button
to engage phantom power. Patch
out of the
Output Jack
of the same preamp to the line
level input of your recording device using either a
microphone (XLR Female to XLR Male) cable or balanced
line (XLR Female to a
¼
” TRS Male) cable if your
recording device has TRS inputs.
1.3 The Power Supply
Your Mic Pre 4T ships with an external 48V DC power
supply. External power supplies offer many advantages
over internal power supplies, like reducing hum from 50 or
60 cycle power sources and improving the safety of the
equipment you are using.
