Fostex VM200 manual Phantom Power for Input Channels

Phantom Power for Input Channels 1–4

Phantom Power for Input Channels 1–4

The VM200 supplies optional phantom power (+48 V) to the XLR con- nectors. You can turn the phantom power on or off using the switches on the rear panel as shown in the figure above.

Caution: Turn on the phantom power only after you connect a balanced XLR component (such as a condenser microphone) to the XLR input connector.

Specify the connector you wish to use by pressing (or not pressing) the A/B input selectors on the top panel (shown in the figure below). The A setting (unpressed) selects the XLR input connector; the B setting (depressed) selects the phone jack input connector.
