Connecting Microphones and Instruments
(Analog Connection)
This section describes examples of connecting microphones and instruments to the
processor.
Precautions When Connecting Microphones
• The pin assignment for the each connectors is as shown below. Before
making any connections, make sure that this pin assignment is compatible
with that of all your other devices.
fig.5-01
• Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphones
relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:
1 Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
2 Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.
3 Lowering volume levels.
• Carefully read the owner's manual for the microphone you are using, and
unless you are connecting a condenser mic requiring phantom power, be
sure turn phantom power off (refer to the console Owner's Manual).
Supplying phantom power to dynamic microphones or keyboards may
result in damage to the equipment.
• Turn the phantom power on or off only after muting the channels to which
condenser microphones are connected. A loud noise or pop is produced
when the phantom power is turned on or off without muting first, and this
noise can severely damage amps, speakers, or other equipment.
1 Completely lower the console's MASTER fader.
2 Select the channel to which you want to input the sound, and connect the
microphone or instrument to the corresponding INPUT jack.
