Using a Condenser Microphone

(PHANTOM POWER)

If you’re using a condenser microphone that requires
phantom power, turn on the phantom power as follows.
The BR-800 can provide +48 V phantom power to a
condenser microphone connected to the XLR connector of
INPUT 4.

Press the [EXIT] button a number of times to return to
the play screen.
• You must turn off phantom power unless you’ve
connected a condenser microphone that requires
phantom power. Supplying phantom power to a
dynamic microphone or audio playback device
will cause malfunctions. For details on the
specifications of your microphone, refer to the
owner’s manual for the microphone you’re using.
(The BR-800’s phantom power supply is DC 48V,
10mA Max).
• Before turning the phantom power on/off, you
must make sure that the BR-800’s [MASTER]
fader, the INPUT SENS [4/MIC R] knob, and the
[REC LEVEL] knob are all minimized. If you turn
the phantom power on/off with these faders or
knobs raised, high-volume noise will be
produced, possibly damaging your amp or
speakers.
• Since turning phantom power on will increase the
power consumption, we recommend that you use
the AC adaptor.
• When you turn on the BR-800’s power, the
phantom power setting is reset to “OFF.” You’ll
need to turn it “ON” each time you want to use it.
• If you’re using an external microphone preamp or
a dedicated external phantom power supply,
there’s no need to supply phantom power from
the BR-800. In this case, turn the phantom power
“OFF.”

Setting Explanation

ON Phantom power will be supplied to
the XLR connector of INPUT 4.
OFF Phantom power will not be supplied.
