Fig 5-5: Switch to Control LF Filter and Phantom Power.
Using Phantom Powered Microphones
For the input channel there are independent switches to provide phantom power at +48V
to the connected microphones. With phantom power selected, a voltage of +48V is applied
to pins 2 and 3 of the XLR connector to power the microphone, supplied through 6k8
resistors giving a current of 14mA. Phantom power is used when the switch is pointing
towards the arrow.
Using the LF Filter
A switch also provides control for a high pass filter with low frequency roll off at 125Hz. The
filter is in when the switch is in the down position (towards the arrow).
Output
The XLR 3 pin plug output connector is electronically balanced and can be wired
unbalanced by grounding the non-phase signal, allowing you to feed balanced and
unbalanced equipment. It has the following connections:
Pin 1: Screen
Pin 2: Phase
Pin 3: Non-phase
The connector provides a line level output with an impedance of <50Ω and a maximum
output level of +28dBu.
