indicate that the main POWER switch (located on the
rear panel) is on.
43. Output Level Meter - The output level meter allows you
to monitor the level of the signal, which is being sent

NOTE: To avoid distortion, adjust the MAIN MIX level
control so that the 0 indicator LED lights occasionally.
44. PHANTOM Power Switch and Indicator - The mixer
features an on-board, 48-Volt Phantom power supply

is engaged, the LED will illuminate indicating that
phantom power is now available at the microphone

IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid a loud pop, be sure to
turn down the master level controls before plugging
and unplugging the mic cables when the phantom
power is active. Be sure the MAIN level fader is turned
all the way down before activating the Phantom Power
to prevent pops from entering any external device
connected to the mixer. Also, be sure the Phantom
Power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting
microphones.
