CAUTION
•
Do not connect or disconnect mics when a PHANTOM
switch is set to ON. Doing so could cause a loud
noise and might damage this unit and connected
equipment.
•
Set the PHANTOM switch to ON only when using a
condenser microphone that requires phantom power.
Turning phantom power on when a dynamic mic or
other mic 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.
