ProFire 2626

• Input Connections:

The electric guitar is recorded "direct" by connecting it to the first
channel's front-panel Instrument Input (1) with a standard 1/4" TS
instrument cable When using a front panel input, make sure that the
Mic/Inst button (2) for that channel is in the "in" position If a 1/4"
line-level device is connected to the first channel's combo connector
(on the rear of the interface), make sure that the device is not
outputting any audio
The vocalist's microphone as well as the four percussion microphones
can be plugged into channels 2-6 on the rear of the interface
using XLR cables Engage the Phantom Power buttons (5) if
your microphones require power Remember that certain vintage
microphones may be damaged if phantom power is sent to them—read
your microphone's manual if you are not sure if it requires power
Finally, the drum machine's line-level outputs are plugged into channels 7/8 using 1/4" cables

User Guide
TIP: The XLR inputs of the
combo connectors on the rear
of the interface feed into the
mic preamps while the 1/4" rear
panel inputs bypass the preamps.
If you are recording line-level
signals, it is recommended that
you use the 1/4" inputs to bypass
the preamplifier's circuitry (since
the preamp is not necessary in
this case).
