DO NOT use unbalanced sources with the phantom power switched on. The voltage on pins 2 & 3 of the XLR connector may cause serious damage. Please minimize the fader before pressing this switch to avoid speaker’s damage. 18. MIC INPUT Microphone inputs are on Female XLR. The impedance of this input is approximately 2kΩ. IMX-416/424/432...
High Mid and Low Mid bands have a bell response centered around 3.15kHz and 315Hz respectively. The IN switch inserts all four bands into the signal path, which is useful when checking the effectiveness of your EQ settings. IMX-416/424/432...
