an external device is connected to the analog input on this
unit.

connected to this unit.
Phantom power
This unit can supply +48 V phantom power to condenser
microphones.
Use the PHANTOM switches on the top panel to turn the
phantom power supply ON or OFF for mic input pairs 1/2,
3/4 and 5/6.
CAUTION
•
Phantom power is also supplied to the TRS pins of
the MIC/LINE INPUTS Jack. If you connect a line level
device while phantom power is being supplied, that
device and this unit could be damaged.
•
Confirm that phantom power is OFF before connecting
a line level device to a MIC/LINE INPUTS jack. If you
connect a line level device while phantom power is
being supplied, that device and this unit could be
damaged.
•
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.
