MS1402-VLZ PATCHBAY DESCRIPTION
At the risk of stating the obvious, this is
where you plug everything in: microphones,
line-level instruments and effects, head-
phones, and the ultimate destination for your
sound: a tape recorder, PA system, etc.

phones, and the ultimate destination for your
sound: a tape recorder, PA system, etc.
MIC INPUTS (Channels 1–6)
We use phantom-powered, balanced micro-
phone inputs just like the big studio
mega-consoles, for exactly the same reason:
This kind of circuit is excellent at rejecting
hum and noise. You can plug in almost any
kind of mic that has a standard XLR-type male
mic connector.

without overloading. Be sure to perform the

PHANTOM POWER
Most modern professional condenser mics
are equipped for Phantom Power, which lets
the mixer send low-current DC voltage to the
mic’s electronics through the same wires that
carry audio. (Semi-pro condenser mics often
have batteries to accomplish the same thing.)
“Phantom” owes its name to an ability to be
“unseen” by dynamic mics (Shure SM57/SM58,
for instance), which don’t need external power
and aren’t affected by it anyway.

The MS1402-VLZ’s phantom power is glo-
bally controlled by the
PHANTOM switch on
the rear panel .
Never plug single-ended
(unbalanced) micro-
phones or instruments
into the
(unbalanced) micro-
phones or instruments
into the
MIC IN jacks if the
PHANTOM power is on.
Do not plug instrument outputs into the
MIC IN jacks with PHANTOM power on unless
you know for certain it is safe to do so.
