ready to go. Refer to the LEDs on the front for a visual measure
of input gain, and then route the output to a mixer, workstation,
or computer via the1/4-inch or USB output. The overall analog
output level can be adjusted right at the unit.
Since the USB Pre IV is run off the USB bus, it is ideal as a
portable microphone preamp for remote performance or laptop
recording.
Phantom Power Supply
Many mixers, workstations, and computer interface boxes will
not supply +48 Volt phantom power on all microphone inputs.
This is a critical feature if you plan to use a condenser micro-
phone. The USB Pre IV is a perfect solution to this problem, let-
ting you connect any microphones to your existing mixer or com-
puter. Operation is identical to what is covered above. Once
again portable laptop recording with high quality condenser mi-
crophones that require real phantom power is possible.
