LED lights up next to the switch when the phantom power supply is active.
Additional control LEDs are located in each Trim section of the mixer's
channels. As a rule, dynamic microphones can still be used with phantom
power, provided they are wired in a balanced configuration. In case of doubt,
contact the microphone manufacturer!
