Disconnect and turn off the microphone
When disconnecting a microphone from the XLR jack, the phantom power
is automatically turned off. Phantom power is also automatically turned off
each time you turn the Pa4X off.
As an alternative, you can go to the
Global > Audio & Video > Audio In
page,
and deselect the
+48V Phantom Power
checkbox.
Adjusting the microphone input gain
After connecting a microphone, you can adjust its input gain, mix level and
output level.

Be sure the
MIC
indicator is turned on. Be sure the
HARMONY
and
DOUBLE
indicators are turned off.
2
Use the
GAIN
knob next to the
MIC INPUT
connector to adjust the input gain
(from 20 to 55 dB). Check the level by watching at the
AUDIO IN
indicator on
the control panel. Keep the level so that this indicator remains green most of
the time, with orange appearing at signal peaks. Never go to red.

Meaning
Off
No signal entering.
Green
Low- to mid-level signal entering. If the indicator turns off too often,
the input gain is too low. Use the GAIN control to increase the input
level.
Orange
Slight overload in the signal path. This is fine if it turns on only on signal
peaks.
Red
Clipping is occurring in the signal path. Use the GAIN control to lower
the input level.
