Depending of the source type and signal level (microphone or line), they need to get connected to the matching inputs. Before connecting, turn all the channel input and master volume controls on the front panel of the amplifier fully counterclockwise (to their minimum setting) and put the gain control trimmers on the rear panel in a central position.

3) Priority & phantom power The microphone input connection contains a priority (PRIO) and phantom power (PHNTM) switch, whereby these functions can be enabled and disabled. When priority is switched on, other connected audio sources will be eleminated once a signal is present on this input. It also overriders the priority mute when enabled.
