PHANTOM POWER 48V
DC voltage of 48V to all microphone inputs
PHANTOM POWER 48V is a DC voltage applied to all microphone inputs. This is for powering condenser micro-
phones and it is sometimes used to power active circuitry in other devices, such as DI boxes. Balanced dynamic
microphones (for example) will be unaffected.
Warning: This voltage is always on when the mixer power is on. Some classic studio
microphones have issues with phantom power. Users should always be aware of their in-
dividual microphone's operation before using them with Notepad or any other mixers with
48v Phantom power.
HI-Z
Switch the line (Jack) input to 'Hi-Z', high impedance mode
Activating Hi-Z by pressing the Hi-Z button presents a much higher load impedance to the source in order to match
high-impedance sources such as guitar, bass and other instrument pick-ups that are connected directly to the
console. Using the standard impedance mode with the button unpressed on high impedance sources will have a
detrimental effect on the high frequency response.
GAIN
Adjust the input gain
The Gain range is 10dB to 60dB. It is advisable to listen to the channel and to check the channel peak LED while
increasing gain to avoid distortion due to clipping. Before plugging in a new source, turn the gain down to avoid
sudden loud noises.
