2. Description of ESU1808
2.1 Front Panel
Input 1/2 - microphone inputs
Input 1/2 are provided as microphone inputs with balanced XLR connectors and independent GAIN
control. You can use both inputs for dynamic and condenser microphones. If required, you can
activate the +48V phantom power switch. The activation is indicated by an LED. The input level
for each input is shown by the peak LEDs above the gain knob.
Input 3/4 – Hi-Z instrument inputs
Input 3/4 are provided as high impedance HI-Z inputs with individual GAIN control and a peak
LED next to each input. Use these inputs if you are directly connecting an instrument like an
electric guitar to ESU1808.
Input 5~8 – analog line inputs
Input 5~8 are provided as (by default) unbalanced line level inputs optimized for –10dBv input
levels with 1/4" connectors. Unlike input 9~16 (which are located on the rear panel), the line inputs
on the front panel are optimized for unbalanced signals.
