Do not set phantom power to +48V when an unbalanced dynamic mic is connected. • Do not connect or disconnect mics while phantom power is set to +48V. Doing so could cause a loud noise and might damage this unit and connected equipment. • Set the LINE OUT and PHONES knobs to their minimum values before switching the phantom power setting between +48V and OFF. Sudden loud noises from monitoring equipment could occur, and this could damage the equipment or harm hearing. • Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics will break them. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a ribbon mic. TASCAM US-16x08 11
