First adjust the Gain Trim so the 0dB LED is only lit at
absolute peaks. Then reduce the Gain Trim slightly
so the 0dB LED is never lit.

Use this control to set the appropriate input level.

6 Phantom Power +48v
The XLR part of the Combo XLR/Jack connections
features +48 phantom power when this switch is
pressed. Phantom power is used to power line-
drivers and condenser microphones.
There are three main types of microphones.
Condenser microphones - phantom power required
except for some models that use proprietary power
supplies or built-in batteries. Please check the
microphone's manufacturer specifications for details.
Electrodynamic microphones - phantom power is not
required but does no harm to the microphone.
Ribbon microphones - phantom power could
damage the microphone. Search advice from the
manufacturer of the microphone!
Only the condenser type requires phantom power.
It is however no problem combining a condenser
microphone in e.g. ch. 1, with a standard
electrodynamic microphones (such as e.g. a Shure
SM57) in ch. 2. Nor is it any problem to activate
phantom power and use a condenser microphone to
one of the inputs and connect a guitar using a 1/4
jack to the other input, as phantom power only
concerns the XLR connections.
