! Phantom power is a voltage distribution system utilizing standard microphone cable. It is useful
(and often required) for powering condenser microphones connected to your audio system. If any
of your microphones require phantom power, simply enable the corresponding channels phantom
power switch to activate a constant 48v power supply.

! The low-cut (high-pass) filter feature is useful in eliminating low frequency noise such floor rum-
ble often picked up through microphone stands.

! Phase cancellation can be a serious problem during the recording process. Two out of phase
sound waves that are summed together will cause some level of phase cancellation resulting in
less amplitude, severe tonal variations, and a distorted perceived overall quality of the sound. This
is especially of concern when recording two microphones within close proximity. In this instance,
activating the phase reverse switch on one of the microphone channels will help avoid phase can-
cellation issues.
The phase reverse switch is also extremely handy when used to correct inverted XLR pin wiring
configurations.

! A continuously illuminated peak LED indicates you have surpassed optimum input level and dis-
tortion of the respective channels audio signal will occur. It’s time to adjust your gain structure!
