Input Section — Front Panel
INPUT GAIN control
This control adjusts microphone
input level. Set this to make the
OL (Overload) LED flash occasion-
ally. If the
OL LED is on con-
stantly, the level is too high—no
illumination means the level is
too low. It’s important to have
this gain stage set up properly to
maintain the best signal-to-noise
ratio.
Input Section — Rear Panel
LINE/BOTH/MIC switch
This three position switch allows
selection of which rear panel
input is active: line, mic, or a
sum of both inputs.
48V PHANTOM POWER
switch
This engages 48V phantom power
for condenser microphones. The
associated red LED indicates that
phantom power is on. Be sure the
mic can accept 48V phantom.
LINE/EXPAND IN
connectors
Use either the balanced/unbal-
anced ¼" TRS or the screw
terminals to connect a line level
input. Do not use both.
MIC IN
This XLR accepts microphone
level inputs.
