Alesis 8FX manual Power Supply Unit, Power On, Phantom On

2 A Tour of the MultiMix

Power Supply Unit

This unit provides 18.5 VAC at 700 mA, more than enough to keep your MultiMix-8FX running smoothly. As with nearly all power supply units, this one tends to get warm when left on for a while. This is perfectly normal.

Power On

Another easy one. Switch this one on and your mixer has power. Switch it off and it doesn’t. Make sure that all master output knobs are turned all the way down when powering your mixer up or down.

Phantom On

This switch activates and deactivates the phantom power described in “Mic Inputs (Channels 1 – 4),” page 17. This switch controls phantom power for all four mic inputs.

As we said earlier, it’s very important that you plug in your microphones and mute your system before you turn on phantom power.
