3.2 Connecting Audio Sources

The mixer provides multiple input options for various audio devices.

• Microphones: Connect XLR or 6.35mm (1/4 inch) microphone cables to the MIC/LINE input jacks (LINE 1-6). For condenser microphones requiring phantom power, activate the +48V PHANTOM POWER button for the respective channel.
• Line-level Instruments/Devices: Connect instruments or other line-level devices using 6.35mm (1/4 inch) cables to the MIC/LINE input jacks.

Important: Ensure phantom power is only activated when using condenser microphones that require it. Do not activate phantom power for dynamic microphones or other devices that do not require it, as this may cause damage.

• Headphones: Connect headphones to the PHONES jack for monitoring.
• Recording Output: Use the REC OUT (RCA) for connecting to a recording device.
