VISUAL FEEDBACK
In addition to the channel select button LEDs, there are also two blue LEDs above the master
channel select button. These show the current on/off state of phantom power for input channels 1
and 2.
4.2.18.3 – SWITCHING PHANTOM POWER VOLTAGE LEVEL
To switch the phantom power voltage level between +48V and +15V, do the following:
1. Press and hold the [+48V] button.
2. Press the master channel select button to toggle between +48V and +15V. The LED will turn green
for +48V or red for +15V.
3. Release the [+48V] button to return to the mode you were previously in.
4.2.18.4 – PHANTOM POWER IS GLOBAL, NOT PER PRESET
The phantom power parameters (on/off state and voltage level) are global parameters. This means they
are not stored on a per preset basis; they will instead remain the same when changing K-Mix presets.
Phantom power parameters are global to prevent situations where changing presets alters phantom
power states, which could lead to problems with microphone performance (or even potentially damage
some microphones). If using a condenser microphone that requires phantom power, you likely wouldn’t
want phantom to suddenly turn off if you changed a preset, leading to a signicant drop in signal level
(or even completely cutting out).
4.2.18.5 – PHANTOM POWER DEFAULT STATE
When K-Mix is powered on, phantom power will always be off. You must manually turn phantom power
on each time K-Mix is turned on.
