audio device

MIC: For inputting sound from an 

external microphone that does 
not support the +48V power 
source.

MIC+48V: For inputting sound from a 

device that supports the 
+48V power source 
including the supplied 
microphone.

• When you connect a device that supports the 

+48V power source to the INPUT1 or INPUT2 
jack, set the INPUT1/INPUT2 switch to MIC 
prior to connecting the device. When you 
disconnect the device, set the INPUT1/INPUT2 
switch to MIC first, then disconnect it. 

• When you connect a microphone that does not 

support the +48V power source to the INPUT1 
or INPUT2 jack, set the INPUT1/INPUT2 
switch to MIC. If you use it with the INPUT1/
INPUT2 switch set to MIC+48V, it may be 
damaged or the recorded sound may be 
distorted.
