Functions of parts

When disconnecting an XLR plug, pull it while pushing the lock release button.
➁ INPUT A and B buttons and status indicators
Press an INPUT A/B button, lighting its status indicator, to enable that input jack. (Phantom power will be supplied if power is connected to the USB port.) See the recorder operation manual for details.
➂ PHANTOM POWER indicator
This will light when power is connected to the USB port and phantom power can be supplied.
➃ USB port (Type-C)
By connecting a portable battery or AC adapter here, phantom power can be supplied from the INPUT A and B XLR jacks.
➄ MIC/LINE IN jack (stereo mini)
Other mics and devices can be connected here.
This also supports mics that use plug-in power.
➅ PLUG-IN POWER ON/OFF switch
Turn this ON when connecting a mic that requires plug-in power to the MIC/LINE jack.
Connection example
When connecting condenser mics and other devices that require phantom power, use an external power supply.
Do not supply phantom power to devices that are not compatible with it. Doing so could damage the device.
