48V Phantom Power Switch When this
14
switch is in the "on" position, 48V phantom
power is sent to both front panel inputs. This is
used with condenser microphones requiring ex-
ternal power. The Phantom Power Indicator LED
illuminates when phantom power is on.
Although phantom power can be used
safely with most microphones, it is possi-
ble to damage some ribbon microphones.
Always turn off phantom power and wait
at least ten seconds before connecting a
ribbon microphone.
Refer to the documentation for your
microphone for more information about
its power requirements.
