Connecting a microphone
To sing along with the Pa800, you must first connect a suitable microphone to AUDIO INPUT 1 (the
one that goes to the Voice Processor). Any dynamic microphone is directly supported. To connect a
phantom-powered condenser microphone, you need an external phantom power supply. You can also
connect the microphone though an external mixer, and connect one of the mixer's line outputs to the
AUDIO INPUT 1 of the Pa800.

audio circuitry via the
microphone.
