Setting power used by mics
Using phantom power
1. Set the phantom power voltage to match the connected
mics. (See “Setting the phantom power voltage” on page
2. Set the PHANTOM power switch to ON only when a
condenser microphone that requires phantom power is
connected to the MIC/LINE IN jack.
3. When phantom power is turned on, a confirmation pop-up
message appears.
Press the ENTER/MARK button to supply phantom power to
the MIC/LINE IN jack.
If you set the PHANTOM power switch to OFF while the
confirmation pop-up message is open, the message will
close and phantom power will not be enabled.
NOTE
•
If you set the
PHANTOM
power switch to ON when the
charge of the battery being used is low, a
BATTERY LOW
pop-up message will open and phantom power will not be
enabled.
•
When phantom power is being supplied the
or
icon
will appear
CAUTION
•
Do not connect or disconnect mics from the
MIC/LINE IN
jack while phantom power is ON. Doing so could cause
a loud noise and might damage this unit and connected
equipment.
•
Turn phantom power ON only when using a condenser
microphone that requires phantom power. Turning
phantom power on when a dynamic mic or other external
device that does not require it is connected could damage
this unit and connected equipment.
•
When using condenser mics that require phantom power
and dynamic mics together, be sure to use balanced
dynamic mics. Unbalanced dynamic mics cannot be used
when phantom power is enabled.
•
Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics will break
them. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a
ribbon mic.
•
Some condenser microphones will not operate when
phantom power is set to
+24V
.
•
The battery operation time depends on the mic being used.
For details, refer to the mic operation manual.
•
When using phantom power during battery operation, the
operation time might be reduced drastically depending
on the mic. We recommend using a TASCAM PS-P520E AC
adapter (sold separately) or, for battery operation, the
built-in battery or a TASCAM BP-6AA external battery pack.
•
Do not connect or disconnect the AC adapter when using
phantom power. The unit could turn off even when batteries
are installed, resulting in recorded data becoming damaged
or lost.
•
When using USB bus power, the unit might not be able to
supply phantom power depending on the computer.

Setting the phantom power voltage
1. Select the
I/O SETTING
screen
PHANTOM VOLT
item to open
the
PHANTOM VOLT
screen. (See “Basic menu operation proce-
2. Set the supplied phantom power voltage.
Options:
+48V
(default),
+24V
NOTE
Battery power will be consumed faster when set to
+48V
than when set to
+24V
.
Using plug-in power
Plug-in power can be supplied when a small condenser mic that
requires plug-in power supply is connected to the EXT IN jack.
1. Select the
PLUG IN POWER
item on the
I/O SETTING
screen.
(See “Basic menu operation procedures” on page 10.)
2. Turn plug-in power on or off.
Options:
OFF
(default),
ON
CAUTION
When connecting a dynamic mic or external mic that has its
own battery, do not turn plug-in power on. If plug-in power
is on, it could damage the connected mic.
