9—Working with Input Signals

Phantom Power

Each of the VS-2400CD's eight XLR jacks can supply +48 V phantom power to a
connected condenser microphone that doesn't have its own internal power source.
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 don't
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, 10 mA
Max)
To Turn an XLR Input Jack's Phantom Power On or Off
If you've already routed the input jack to an input channel, bring the input channel's
fader all the way down before turning the jack's phantom power on or off.
1. Hold down SHIFT and press EZ ROUTING•PHANTOM—the PATCH BAY screen
2. Press
3. Turn the Time/Value dial to turn the jack's phantom power on or off, as desired.
Read the manual for your microphone, and turn on phantom power only if you're using
a condenser microphone that requires it. Phantom power can damage other mics.
To avoid damage to a connected mic or instrument, make sure the corresponding XLR
jack's phantom power is turned off when you're using one of the 1/4" TRS jacks.

Setting Analog Input Levels

Once you've connected a signal to an analog input jack, you'll need to set its level.

To Set an Analog Input Level

1. If you're connecting an electric guitar or bass to the GUITAR HI-Z jack, be sure to
2. Press HOME•DISPLAY on the VS-2400CD.
3. Send some signal into the input jack.
4. Turn up the jack's SENS knob until its peak
5. Turn the SENS knob counter-clockwise slightly until the indicator doesn't flash.
You can view a jack's level in the Home screen's INPUT meter view only if it's been
routed to an input channel. If you don't see the jack's signal, see Page 130.
You can set the level at which the input peak indicators turn on (Page 356).
