1.
Connect an instrument to the INPUT jack 1
(
→
p. 16, 17).
For an instrument with high output impedance (passive-type
electric guitar or bass), use a high-impedance compatible
INPUT jack and set the respective [Hi-Z] switch to On
(engaged). On the HD8, the INPUT jack 1 is high-impedance
compatible. On the HD16, INPUT jacks 1 and 2 are high-
impedance compatible.
To connect a low-impedance electric guitar or bass with built-
in preamp or a synthesizer or other component with line-level
output, or to connect a mic or direct box, you can use any
INPUT jack.
NOTE
When a low-impedance instrument is connected to a high-
impedance compatible INPUT jack, the respective [Hi-Z]
switch must be set to Off (disengaged).
To supply phantom power to a condenser mic or direct box, set
the respective [+48V] switch to On (engaged).
