NOTE
Always turn the phantom power off when connecting any
device other than condenser microphones that require
phantom power. You risk causing damage if you mistakenly
supply phantom power to dynamic microphones, audio
playback devices, or other devices that don’t require such
power. Be sure to check the specifications of any micro-
phone you intend to use by referring to the manual that
came with it.
NOTE
The “Mic 1 Phantom” parameter’s “On” setting can be
stored in the JM-5’s “User Settings” memory (see p. 58). If
you do so, a “Phantom Power On” message will warn you
that this parameter is on each time you switch on the
