Front Panel Features
Microphone-level signals are passed 
through the mixer's splendid microphone 
preamplifi ers to become line-level signals. 
Because more gain is required to boost the 
microphone level signals, make sure the 
gain switch (21) is in the out (high) position 
when you are using microphones. The mic 
inputs for channels 7 to 10 have no gain 
switch; the mic gain is fi xed at the low gain 
setting of channels 1 to 6.
The microphone signals appear equally in 
the left and right of the main mix.
PHANTOM POWER
Most modern professional condenser 
mics require 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. 
Connector Section
This is where you plug things in, such as: 
microphones, line-level  instruments, guitar 
preamps and effects, recorders, external 
amplifi ers, powered monitors, powered 
subwoofers etc. (The speaker-level outputs 
from the internal power amplifi ers are on 
the rear panel.) Check out the hookup 
diagrams for some connection ideas. See 
Appendix B (page 23) for further details 
and some rather lovely drawings of the 
connectors you can use with your powered 
mixer.
5. MIC INPUTS
We use phantom-powered, balanced 
 microphone inputs just like the big tour 
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.
Professional ribbon, dynamic, and 
condenser mics all sound excellent through 
these inputs. The mic inputs will handle 
any kind of mic level you can toss at them, 
without overloading.
