CAUTION
•Be sure to leave this switch off if you do not need phantom power.
•When using phantom power, do not connect any devices other than
condenser microphones to the XLR input jacks. Other devices may be
damaged if connected to phantom power. This precaution does not
apply to balanced dynamic microphones, however, as these will not be
affected by phantom power.
•To protect your speakers and ears: Before turning the PHANTOM
switch ON or OFF, be sure to turn off the power to the mixer and to all
other devices having internal amplifiers. We also recommend that you
turn all output controls (Channel faders, ST Master fader, etc.) to mini-
mum settings before operating the switch, to avoid risk of loud noises
that could cause hearing loss or device damage.
