Using the Mic and Instrument Inputs
Channel 1 of the M-Audio Ozone gives you a high gain, low noise microphone preamp. It provides a low impedance microphone input on an XLR connector with optional phantom power. A dynamic, condenser, or any other type of low impedance microphone will interface easily with the M-Audio Ozone’s Mic Input.
Channel 2 gives you a high impedance instrument preamp, designed to add preamp gain to an electric or acoustic guitar, keyboards, or even a high impedance mic. However, you may also attach a direct box or passive transformer to the M-Audio Ozone’s Mic Input (Channel 1), which will then allow you to plug another electric or acoustic guitar or other high impedance instrument into the M-Audio Ozone’s Mic Input. Additional information on using the Mic and Instrument Ins will be found in the next two sections.
