phantom power. Humming or damage may result if you
connect to an unbalanced device or to an ungrounded
transformer while this switch is on.
• When turning the switch on, make sure that only a con-
denser microphone is connected to the XLR input jacks.
Devices other than condenser microphones may be
damaged if connected to the phantom power supply.
r
This precaution does not apply to balanced dynamic
microphones, however, as these will not be affected by
t
phantom power.
• To prevent damage to speakers, be sure to turn off power
y
amplifiers (or powered speakers) before turning this
switch on or off. It's also a good idea to turn the mixers
output controls - the STEREO master and GROUP (1-2,
i
3-4) faders - all the way down when turning phantom
power on. Neglect of these precautions may result in
large noise bursts that may damage your equipment,
your ears, or both.
