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.
