Back panel

POWER switch

This is the master power switch for the Studio 32. When it's ON, the red LED on
the front panel will light.

Power cable

An industry-standard removable power cable is shipped with your Studio 32. If you
lose it, or need a longer or shorter length, compatible cables are available from
electronics and computer stores. The type is sometimes referred to as a "NEMA to
CEE" cable, or an "IEC power" cord.
Never defeat the grounding pin of the power cable. Use only approved power
cables.

PHANTOM Switch

When this switch is pressed, it applies phantom power to the XLR microphone
jacks on all channels, and the yellow PHANTOM LED on the front panel will light.
48 volts DC appears equally on pins 2 and 3 to be used by condenser-type
microphones requiring external power. Since this voltage is equal, it is "invisible"
to standard balanced dynamic microphones, hence the name, "phantom power."
Check the manual for the mics you plan on using to make sure that this phantom
method is correct before you apply power.
The PHANTOM switch must be turned off if any electronically balanced line source
(such as the balanced output of a tape recorder or CD player) is connected to any
XLR MIC IN jack; it could damage the output circuitry of such units. When you turn
PHANTOM off, it is normal for it to decay gradually; make sure the yellow
PHANTOM LED is totally off before plugging electronic units in to the MIC jacks.
Note: Make sure the channel volumes are set to minimum or are muted before
switching the PHANTOM switch on. The voltage surge at initial turn-on may
cause a loud "pop" in the system.

Control Room Out

Connect these jacks to the input of your control room amplifier. Signal comes here
from the Control Room section of the speaker. The jacks are 3-conductor with a
forward-referenced ground to avoid ground loops, and may be used balanced or
unbalanced.

2 Track Tape In

Connect the output of your 2-track (cassette, DAT, CD-R, reel-to-reel, etc.) to these
jacks. Any stereo source connected here may be heard in the control room mix only.
As with all Studio 32 input jacks, you may connect balanced TRS or unbalanced
sources here.
