Operating the S Phantom
Setting Up the S phantom
The basic procedure for setting up and using your S phantom is simple and takes only a few
minutes. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of need for future service) and check
to make sure that you remove the supplied DC power adapter.
Warning: Be sure to turn down the channel and master volumes of your mixer, PA or recorder
BEFORE connecting or disconnecting your microphone cables. All phantom power supplies, including
the S phantom, will make a loud pop when a microphone is connecting or disconnected during oper-
ation. Depending on the level of your system, the pop can damage your speakers or if you’re wearing
headphones, the pop may EVEN DAMAGE YOUR EARS! So be careful and be sure to turn down the vol-
ume of your mic channel, other inputs and master volumes before plugging or unplugging any mic
cables while the S phantom is powered on.
• Using a standard XLR microphone cable, connect the output of your condenser micro-
phone to the S phantom’s CHANNEL 1 INPUT.
• Using a second mic cable, connect the CHANNEL 1 OUTPUT of the S phantom to the micro-
phone input of the mixer, recorder, PA or amplifier you wish to connect your condenser
microphone to. If your recorder or mixer does not have an XLR input you can use the 1/4-
inch MIC 1 Output.
Note: There are several different input connectors that may be on your mixer or recorder, but they
will more than likely be either XLR or 1/4-inch phone. For a detailed wiring diagram see page 7 of this
manual.
• Repeat the steps above for the second microphone using the CHANNEL 2 INPUTS and
OUTPUTS.
• Plug the included DC adapter into the power outlet. Be sure to pay attention and confirm
the adapter is the correct voltage for your country. See specificationsprinted on the AC adapter.
• Press the 48V switch in to activate the phantom power.
