When on, the STANDBY/ON indicator lights green. 2 Phantom power switches Use these switches to provide +48V phantom power to the IN1-4 and IN5-8 jacks. Switching is possible in groups of four channels. Phantom power is supplied when the switch is set to +48. CAUTION • Before switching between +48/OFF, lower the device's output volume with the PHONES and LINE OUT1-2 knobs. Failure to do so could cause a loud noise that might damage other devices or cause injury. • Do not connect or disconnect mics when this switch is set to +48. • Do not supply phantom power to an unbalanced dynamic mic. • Supplying phantom power to some types of ribbon mics could damage them. Do not supply phantom power to a ribbon mic if you are in doubt. 3 IN1-8 (BALANCED) jacks These analog inputs are XLR jacks. Use the gain knobs to set the input gains. (1: GND, 2: HOT, 3: COLD) 4 IN9-10 (BALANCED/UNBALANCED) jacks, LINE/INST switch IN9-10 jacks are standard TRS analog input jacks. With the LINE/INST switches, both line input (audio equipment, keyboard, etc.) and high impedance input (direct input of guitar and other instruments) can be supported. Use the gain knobs to set the input gains. (Tip: HOT, Ring: COLD, Sleeve: GND) 5 Gain knobs, overload indicators Use the gain knobs 1-10 to adjust each of the IN1-10 gains separately. The overload indicator above and to the left of each gain knob 1-10 lights just before the input would distort (when −1 dBFS is exceeded). 6 LINE OUT1-2 knob Use to adjust the output level of the LINE OUT1-2 jacks on the rear panel. 7 PHONES jack/knob Use this standard stereo jack to connect stereo headphones. This jack outputs the same signal as the LINE OUT1-2 jacks. Use the PHONES knob to adjust the headphone output level. TASCAM US-16x08 5
