Setting the microphone equalizers
and phantom power
The JM-5 provides two equalizers (tone controls) you
can set for the two MIC inputs separately. If you con-
nect a condenser microphone to MIC 1, you can also
activate this socket’s phantom power. (The MIC 2 socket
provides no phantom power.)

Press [MENU] and use the [CURSOR÷VALUE]
dial to select “User Settings” ‰ “Mic Set-
tings”.
The display changes to:
The “MIC 1” parameters apply to the microphone
connected to the MIC 1 socket. The “MIC 2” section
applies to the microphone connected to the MIC 2
socket.
2.
Use the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select “Mic
1 High”, then press the dial.
3.
Rotate the dial to increase (+1~+15) or
decrease (–1~–15) the level of the high fre-
quencies.
4.
Press the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial again to
confirm your setting, then rotate it to select
the “Mic 1 Low” parameter.
5.
Press the dial, than rotate it to increase
(+1~+15) or decrease (–1~–15) the level of
the low frequencies.

Press the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial again to
confirm your setting, then rotate it to select
the “Mic 1 Phantom” parameter.
7.
Press the dial, then rotate it to select “On”
(phantom power active) or “Off (phantom
power off).
IMPORTANT REMARK: Never connect or disconnect
a condenser microphone while the “Mic 1 Phantom”
parameter is set to “On”. We also recommend setting
the [MASTER VOL] knob to the minimum position
before connecting or disconnecting microphones.
The JM-5’s phantom power supply: +48V DC, 10mA
Setting Explanation

singing technique used by European
monks.

in classical music. (This also works for
pop music.)
