VocoPro PA-PRO 900

33. +48V PHANTOM POWER

– This button toggles

phantom power to all the XLR microphone jacks. Enabling

phantom power sends low current DC voltage to a

microphone’s electronics through the same cable that

carries the audio signal.

Most professional condenser microphones require phantom

power. There are some semi-pro microphones that use a

battery to provide the required voltage, and of course many

microphones that do not require phantom power at all. It

is wise to make sure that the microphone you are feeding

phantom power to actually requires it.

NOTES: When phantom power is enabled, refrain from

connecting devices (including musical instruments) via

unbalanced ¼” cables; use balanced ¼” cables instead.

If you need to connect a microphone that is not phantom

powered, simply connect it via a balanced XLR cable.

34. POWER AMP ASSIGN

– This switch lets you choose

which signals will be routed to the PA-PRO 900’s power

ampliﬁ er. This provides ﬂ exibility in how the PA-PRO 900’s

internal power ampliﬁ er can be utilized.

To set the POWER AMP ASSIGN switch, use a small

screwdriver to maneuver the switch to the desired position.

Set this switch to MAIN L,R for straight

stereo playback. When conﬁ gured this

way, the LEFT channel will output to the L

speaker-level outs, and the RIGHT channel

will output to the R speaker-level outs.

Select MAIN L, R in situations when there

is no need to power a monitor speaker,

either because the monitor speaker is self-

powered, or there is no need for a monitor

speaker.

Set this switch to MAIN L,R+MONITOR

when you need to power a monitor speaker.

In this conﬁ guration, the MAIN L,R mix is

output to the L speaker-level outs, and the

MONITOR mix is output to the R speaker-

level outs.

35. CH. 1-4 MUTE

– This button is used to quickly mute all

audio from channels 1-4. This feature is very handy during

breaks and intermissions; audio can be disabled quickly

without having to adjust any other control. Push the button

IN to mute the audio, press the button again (OUT) to have

the audio return to the mix. When mute is activated, the

MUTE LED will remain lit until mute is disabled.

36. CH. 5-8 MUTE

- This button is used to quickly mute all

audio from channels 5-8. This feature is very handy during

breaks and intermissions; audio can be disabled quickly

without having to adjust any other control. Push the button

IN to mute the audio, press the button again (OUT) to have

the audio return to the mix. When mute is activated, the

MUTE LED will remain lit until mute is disabled.

37. POWER

– Use this switch to power the PA-PRO 900

ON/OFF.

NOTE: Before powering on, make sure that voltage of your

PA-PRO 900 is the same voltage as your local AC mains

voltage. The PA-PRO 900 is factory set for speciﬁ c power

needs
