Phantom Power

Each of the VS-2480’s eight XLR jacks can supply +48 V phantom power to a connected
condenser microphone that doesn’t have its own internal power source.

To Turn an XLR Input Jack’s Phantom Power On or Off

1. Hold down SHIFT and press EZ ROUTING—the PATCH BAY screen appears.
2. Press

to select the row of ANALOG INPUT PHANTOM POWER 48V switches.
3. Press

or

to select the desired input jack.
4. Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to turn the jack’s phantom power on or off, as desired.

Setting Analog Input Levels

Once you’ve connected a signal to an analog input jack, you’ll need to set its level.

To Set an Analog Input Level

1. Make sure the input jack’s PAD button is in its “up” position (Page 32).
2. If you’re connecting an electric guitar or bass to the GUITAR HI-Z jack, be sure to
lock in the GUITAR HI-Z ON switch (Page 32).
3. Press HOME•DISPLAY on the VS-2480.
4. Send some signal into the input jack.
The 16 input peak indicators (Page 125)—the
small row of numbers 1-16 in the top right part of
the screen—represent the 16 analog input jacks.
5. Turn up the jack’s SENS knob until its peak
indicator lights on the display.
6. Turn the SENS knob counter-clockwise slightly until the indicator doesn’t flash.
7. If you’ve turned the SENS knob all the way down and the input peak indicator still
flashes, press the jack’s PAD button so that it locks in, and then repeat Step 8.
If you’ve already routed the input jack to an input channel, bring the input channel’s
fader all the way down before turning the jack’s phantom power on or off.
To avoid damage to a connected mic or instrument, make sure the corresponding XLR
jack’s phantom power is turned off when you’re using one of the 1/4” TRS jacks.
You can view a jack’s level in the Home screen’s INPUT meter view only if it’s been
routed to an input channel. If you don’t see the jack’s signal, see Page 135.
You can set the level at which the input peak indicators turn on (Page 362).
