WARNING!
If you apply phantom power to an unbalanced microphone, or to a mic with
shorted wiring or cables, you may damage the microphone and ZephyrExpress.
Don’t use phantom power unless you’re using a condenser microphone that
you’re sure is wired for it.
— Low Cut Filter Applies a gentle filter 2 to reduce wind noise, popped plo-
sives, and building rumble. It’s a good idea to leave this on
for all voice applications, and turn it off for music transmis-
sions.
— Mic 1 test tone Substitutes an 860Hz sine wave for the microphone’s
signal, for testing the ISDN connection and setting nominal
volumes through the broadcast chain. The tone’s routing
and level are adjusted by the front-panel
MIC 1 controls.

HOT TIP!

can use this to support long cable lengths (with a transformer at the other end),
or for phase inversion. For unbalanced wiring details, see Section 5 Hardware.
