Front Panel

A INPUT 1/2 jacks

These inputs are intended for microphones with XLR connectors or instruments with 1/4"

jacks. When connecting devices to the INPUT jacks on both the front and rear panels, the

input on the front panel takes precedence and will automatically be active.

B [GAIN 1]/[GAIN 2] knobs

Controls the preampliﬁcation of the signal being applied to INPUT 1/2 on the front/rear

panel.

While recording, make sure to record at the highest level possible (without distortion or clipping) to

get the greatest beneﬁt from the wide dynamic range of the 24-bit converter. Always remember

that a properly recorded, clean take is far more valuable than having to use the best corrective

plug-in to ﬁx an inferior take.

C SIGNAL and CLIP LED

Provides visual level monitoring of the signal to be recorded on INPUT 1/2 on the front/rear

panel. The lower blue LED indicates the presence of a signal, while the upper red one indicates

an overload of the input converter.

D [+48V] switch

Supplies +48 V phantom power to INPUT 1/2 on the front panel. Turn this switch on if you are

connecting a condenser microphone that requires external +48 V power.

Connectors and controls

Observe the following precautions when turning on phantom power.

■ Make sure that the PHANTOM switch is off when phantom power is not needed.

■ Make sure that no equipment other than phantom-powered microphones is

connected to the inputs 1 and 2 jacks on the front panel when turning phantom

power on. Applying phantom power to equipment other than phantom-

powered microphones can damage the equipment. The exception to this rule is

balanced dynamic microphones, which can safely be left connected while

phantom power is applied to input jacks 1 and 2.

■ To minimize the possibility of speaker damage, turn phantom power on ONLY

while your power amplifier or powered speakers are switched off. It’s also a good

idea to turn the mixers output controls — [MASTER] knob and HEADPHONE

LEVEL knob — all the way down when turning phantom power on.
