AEQ FORUM 
Digital audio mixer for broadcast applications 
28
NOTE 2: only when the FR03 module edition is previous to edition 4 and the firmware version of 
the CPU module of BASE PBA is previous to 1.44, in case you use a microphone that needs 
Phantom power it’s important that you activate that option only when the microphone is already 
connected to the corresponding input, in order to avoid unconfigure the gain of the rest of the 
microphones (anyway it’s possible to recover those gains configuration just by refreshing the 
gain of at least one microphone per module).

inputs and are available physically through two DB15 female connectors identified as “ANALOG
