Drum machine Computer Powered speakers or amplifier and speakers Example using a US-20x20 CAUTION • Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment to be connected off (standby). • The phantom power switches set four input channels at a time. Do not set phantom power to +48V when connecting a mic that does not require phantom power. • Before changing a phantom power switch setting, set the LINE OUT 1-2 and PHONES 1/2 knobs to their minimum values. Failure to do so could cause sudden loud noises from monitoring equipment, and this could damage equipment or harm hearing. • Do not connect or disconnect mics when a PHANTOM switch is set to +48V. Doing so could cause a loud noise and might damage this unit and connected equipment. • Set the PHANTOM switch to +48V only when using a condenser microphone that requires phantom power. Turning phantom power on when a dynamic mic or other mic that does not require it is connected could damage this unit and connected equipment. • When using condenser mics that require phantom power and dynamic mics together, be sure to use balanced dynamic mics. Unbalanced dynamic mics cannot be used when phantom power is enabled . • Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics will break them. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a ribbon mic. Adjust the analog input levels of the MIC/INST IN 1-2 jacks (1) and MIC/LINE IN 3-8 jacks (2) using their gain knobs (4) so that their signal/overload indicators (3) do not light. To monitor the sound using headphones, connect headphones to the PHONES 1/2 jacks (5) and adjust the PHONES 1/2 knobs (6). NOTE Check the following if you cannot hear the input sounds. oo Use the PHONES 1/2 knobs on the front panel to adjust the output levels of the PHONES 1/2 jacks. oo Use the LINE OUT 1-2 knob on the front panel to adjust the output levels of the LINE OUT 1-2 jacks.
