Mono Input Channel
1- MIC INPUT
The mic input accepts XLR-type connectors and is designed to suit a wide range of BALANCED or UNBALANCED signals. Professional dynamic, condenser or ribbon mics
are best because these will be LOW IMPEDANCE. You can use low-cost HIGH IMPEDANCE mics, but the level of background noise will be higher. If you press the 48V switch down
the socket provides a suitable powering voltage for professional condenser mics (this is also known as Phantom Power).
ONLY connect condenser microphones with the 48V powering OFF (switch UP), and ONLY turn the 48V powering on or off with all output faders
DOWN, to prevent damage to the mixer or external devices. TAKE CARE when using unbalanced sources, which may be damaged by the phantom power
voltage on pins 2 & 3 of the XLR connector. Unplug any mics if you want to use the LINE Input. The input level is set using the GAIN knob.
