Page 14: Operating The Phantom
Operating the Phantom The Phantom’s controls are hidden behind a security cover. Remove the cover using the included Phillips head screwdriver and hold on to those screws. Two buttons and one 3-color LED are used to program your Phantom. The factory default settings will work well for almost any situation, and you can adjust them to suit your needs using the provided Phantom Tool. - Page 15 Operating the Phantom The Phantom is designed to be ready to go in a minute or two. First you will set the Phantom’s microphone sensitivity to match your microphone, then your FBX Feedback Exterminator filters, and you can even make an adjustment to the Proximity Effect and Plosive controllers.
- Page 16 Operating the Phantom FBX Setup This procedure will set the FBX Feedback Exterminator filters and will increase your gain before feedback. These FBX filters are all fixed filters - once Ready Mode is engaged they are fixed in their location, width, and depth. They are no longer adaptive, and there are no dynamic filters available with the Phantom.
- Page 17 Operating the Phantom FBX Setup (continued) is in setup mode. The Phantom’s first FBX filter will engage and re- move the tone. The flash rate of the LED increases with every filter that is placed. Raise the gain again until you hear another feedback tone.
- Page 18 Operating the Phantom Proximity & Plosive Control Setup 1. Make sure the Phantom is installed as described in “In- stalling the Phantom” previously. 2. Using the Phantom Tool, press the PROX button mo- mentarily and you will see the red LED flash. This indicates the current setting.
- Page 19 Operating the Phantom Infrared (IR) Gate Setup 1. Connect the Sensor to one of the plas- tic clips that matches your gooseneck size. The clip slides on as shown at right. Mount that assembly to the gooseneck. 2. Plug the cable into the Phantom’s jack and clip the cable neatly to the gooseneck using the clips shown in Figure 2 on page seven.
- Page 20 Operating the Phantom IR Gate Setup (continued) 4. If the person using the mic walks more than six feet away from the mic, the mic will remain on for about 15 seconds, after which it will be muted, indicated by the LED turning off. 5.

Tips and Troubleshooting 1. Reset: If for any reason you need to return the Phantom to the factory default settings, use the Phantom tool and push both buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Be careful - this also clears the FBX filters. 2. -
Page 22: Microphone Sensitivity
Microphone Sensitivity (See instructions for setting Phantom Sensitivity on page 15) The sensitivity of a microphone indicates how much voltage a particular microphone generates when it is subjected to a calibrated sound pressure level. The Phantom works best when its sensitivity level is set to match of the sensitivity level of the mic. - Page 23 Microphone Sensitivity (reference = 1V at 1 Pa) Manufacturer’s Specification Phantom SEN -25dB to -35dB or 56mV to 18mV -35dB to -45dB or 18mV to 6mV (default) -45dB to -55dB or 6mV to 2mV Important Note: The Phantom Mic Rider passes 9 to 17V and up to 4 mA of phantom power to the connected mic.
