Make sure to connect the microphone first, before turning the phantom power on. Keep the microphone connected when turning off the phantom power. • When using the INPUT terminals to record to only one channel, use the INPUT 1 terminal. IMPORTANT • When connecting a microphone or device that does not support phantom power, make sure to set the corresponding INPUT switch to MIC or LINE, respectively. If you set the switch to MIC+48V, the microphone or device may be damaged. To record the same audio input to two audio channels By default, when using the INPUT terminals, each audio input is recorded to a separate audio channel (INPUT 1 to CH1 and INPUT 2 to CH2). If necessary (for example, as an audio backup recording), you can record the audio input into the INPUT 1 terminal to both audio channels, CH1 and CH2. In that case, you can adjust the audio recording levels of each channel independently of each other. 1 Select [CH2 Input]. > [C !
