MR16 Owner’s Manual (Other functions)

Phantom power on/off

The MR16 can supply phantom power (+48 V) to the XLR balanced connectors of [INPUT A] through [INPUT D].

So you can connect condenser microphones which require phantom power.

You can turn on or off phantom power to the XLR connectors via the menu mode.

<Note>: The phantom power can be supplied to the XLR balanced connectors of [INPUT A] through [INPUT D]. Therefore, to connect a sound source which does not require the phan- tom power, use any of the unbalanced phone input jacks on [INPUT A] through [INPUT D].

If any plug is inserted to the unbalanced phone input jack, the phantom power is not supplied to the balanced XLR connector on the same channel.

The phantom power setting returns to "Off" (default) when you turn off the MR16 power.

<Notes on using phantom power>

•Confirm that the connected microphone needs +48 V phantom power.

•Turn on the phantom power after making microphone connection.

•Mute the outputs of the MR16 when turning on or off the phantom power or plugging/ unplugging the microphone.

<Tip>

You can directly access to the input menu screen by a long press of the desired [TO STEREO BUSS ON/OFF] key.
