1 POWER INDICATOR
This LED lights to show when power is connected to the console.
2 PHANTOM POWER
Many professional condenser mics need PHANTOM POWER, which is a method of sending a powering
voltage down the same wires as the mic signal. Press the switch to enable the +48V power to all of the MIC
inputs. The adjacent LED illuminates when the power is active.
WARNING: TAKE CARE when using unbalanced mics which may be damaged by the phantom
power voltage. Balanced dynamic mics can normally be used with phantom power switched on
(contact your microphone manufacturer for guidance).
Mics should always be plugged in, and all output faders set to minimum before switching the
Phantom Power ON to avoid damage to external equipment.
