Setting the XLR Terminal

1 Set the audio input switch to EXT.

• Changing the position of the audio input switch affects

both channel 1 and channel 2 simultaneously.

2 Set the XLR terminal switch of the desired channel to LINE

or MIC.
• To supply a microphone with phantom power, set the

switch to MIC+48V instead. Make sure to connect the
microphone first, before turning the phantom power on.
Keep the microphone connected when turning off the
phantom power.

• When using the XLR terminal to record to only one

channel, use the CH1 input terminal and set the XLR
terminal switch for CH1 to LINE, MIC or MIC+48V.
