3. Press the '48V' button on the mixer to activate phantom power. The indicator light will illuminate.
4. Slowly increase the 'Mic Gain' knob and the microphone fader to a suitable level.
5. Adjust the 'Headphones' knob to monitor your audio.

5.1.2. Dynamic Microphones

Dynamic microphones typically do not require phantom power.

1. Ensure all volume knobs and faders on the mixer are at their minimum (zero) position.
2. Connect your dynamic microphone to the XLR input port on the mixer using an XLR cable.
3. Do NOT press the '48V' button.
4. Slowly increase the 'Mic Gain' knob and the microphone fader to a suitable level.
5. Adjust the 'Headphones' knob to monitor your audio.
