Microphone Connectors
The microphone input is used for the DJ microphone. A hi-pass filter is built in
to reduce low frequency handling noise, popping and proximity effect. An
insert point is provided for patching in processors such as a compressor.
Mic input
Balanced XLR, pin 2 hot. Maximum gain available is +60dB. We
recommend you use a rugged, professional grade, dynamic microphone
specifically designed for the vocal application. This should be low impedance
(less than 600 ohms), balanced and have a cardioid (directional) response to
avoid feedback problems.
Phantom power
An internal option jumper is provided to select +30V to
the XLR pins for use with microphones which require phantom power. Check
the mic manufacturer’s specification regarding these power requirements.
WARNING Do not connect unbalanced sources or cables to the
XLR input when phantom power is applied. To avoid loud clicks always
turn the mic level down before plugging or unplugging phantom powered
microphones.
Insert
Unbalanced TRS (stereo) jack wired tip = send,
ring = return, sleeve = common ground. With nothing
plugged in the signal is passed through internal switch
contacts within the socket. The insert operates at 0dBu.
Adjust the external equipment to operate around 0dBu
and with 0dB (unity) gain from its input to output.
