PHANTOM POWER BUTTON

Pressing this button will light its corresponding LED, and send phantom
power to mics connected to XLR inputs 1-4. Phantom power is needed for
powered microphones like condenser mics. As long as XLR mics or 1/4" line
level devices are connected to inputs 1-4, it is fine to use the Phantom
power.
IMPORTANT: The phantom power does not affect any of the 1/4"
line inputs.
