12 FLOW 8 FLOW 8 Controls (EN) Step 2: Controls (1) MIC 1/MIC 2 inputs accept audio signals over cables using balanced XLR connectors. Both XLR jacks feature individuallyselectable phantom power for condenser mics. Phantom power can be activated in the control app or via the MAIN button and SELECT/ADJUST push encoder (see "Getting Started"). (9) CHANNEL FADERS set mix levels for their respective channels. These faders can also be used to control the send levels to the MON 1/MON 2 output jacks or the FX 1/FX 2 internal busses when selected in the controlapp or by pressing the menu layer's related hardware button (see [16], [21] and [22]). (2) MIC 3/MIC 4 combo jacks accept audio signals from line-level sources or dynamic microphones over cables with balanced XLR, balanced ¼" TRS or unbalanced ¼" TS connectors. To run condenser microphones with these inputs, you will need an external preamp or phantom power supply that provides +48 V of power, such as the Behringer PS400. NOTE: These inputs do NOT offer phantom power! (10) OFFSET/CLIP LEDs indicate when the input gain is clipping the channel headroom or when the hardware faders are in a different position than the fader level shown in the control app (the LEDs will switch off when the hardware faders are returned to the level shown in the control app).
