Audio Switches, Inputs & Outputs

Audio Switches

Located on top of the HD-P2, next to the data wheel are switches for con- trolling the analog audio inputs and dynamics.

The input switches (LINE/MIC) switch between the XLR and RCA jack inputs. The PAD switches only apply to signals coming in the XLR jacks.

Limiting can be turned on or off and the STEREO LINK switch enables stereo limiting of the left & right channels. When STEREO LINK is disabled, each channel has its own mono limiter.

PHANTOM can be turned on to provide 48V phantom power to the microphone inputs.

MIC controls whether the left mic input is from the internal microphone or from the normal input source.

Turning on LOW CUT provides a -18dB/oct, 100Hz low- cut filter to the analog inputs.

WARNING

Microphones should not be connected to or disconnected from the HD-P2 with phantom power switched on.

Unbalanced dynamic microphones should never be connected to phantom-powered connectors.
