3 Phantom power switches [PHANTOM POWER]
These switches turn the phantom power on/off for the XLR connectors of the combo input jacks located on
the right panel. You can turn phantom power on/off separately for channels 1/2/3/4 because they have
separate switches.
* Always turn the phantom power off when connecting any device other than
condenser microphones that require phantom power. You risk causing damage
if you mistakenly supply phantom power to dynamic microphones, audio
playback devices, or other devices that do not require such power. Be sure to
check the specifications of any microphone you intend to use by referring to the
manual that came with it.
This instrument's phantom power: 48 V DC, 8 mA Max (total of all channels must be 20 mA or less)
Hold switch [HOLD]
4
By selecting the HOLD ON position, you can disable the panel buttons so that unwanted operations will not
occur if a button is pressed accidentally.
However, even if this switch is set to HOLD ON, the Phantom power switches
5 , Limiter switch
5 Low cut switch [LOW CUT]
Turing this switch on allows you to record while cutting the lower range portion of the input signal. Turn
on when breath noise (breathing sounds during voice recording) or wind noise (when recording outside)
may be a problem.
Limiter switch [LIMITER]
6
This switch turns the input level limiter on/off in the analog circuitry.
The limiter compresses the input level appropriately to prevent distortion when the input level is too high.
The limiter can be set to operate each channel independently or to be used in combination with channels
(linked). For details, refer to "Limiter link" (p. 68).
