Connecting a microphone
To sing along with the Pa1X, you must first connect a suitable microphone to its MIC input. Any
dynamic microphone is directly supported. To connect a phantom-powered condenser microphone,
you need an external phantom power supply. You can also connect the microphone though an exter-
nal mixer, and connect one of the mixer's line outputs to the line input IN1 of the Pa1X.

Connect a microphone.
If you connect a microphone to the MIC input, move the MIC/IN1 switch to the MIC position.
This allows the microphone signal to pass through the built-in high-quality preamp of the Pa1X.
If you connect a microphone to the IN1 input, passing through a mixer or a preamp, move the
MIC/IN1 switch to the IN1 position. This will allow you to use the Pa1X as a powerful outboard
effect processor.
