Do not turn the PHANTOM +48V switch on when connecting a mic that does not require phan-tom power. i Do not connect or disconnect mics when the PHANTOM +48V switch is on. Doing so could cause a loud noise and might damage this unit and connected equipment. i Set the following knobs and faders to their minimum values before changing the PHANTOM +48V switch on/off setting. Depending on the connected mics, sudden loud noises from monitoring equipment could occur, and this could damage the equipment or harm hearing.• GAIN knobs• Channel faders• SUB fader• MON 1/MON 2 faders• MAIN fader• CONTROL ROOM knob• PHONES knob i Turn the PHANTOM +48V switch on only when using a condenser microphone that requires phantom power. Turning the PHAN-TOM +48V switch on when a dynamic mic or other mic that does not require it is connected could damage this unit and connected equipment. i When using condenser mics that require phantom power and dynamic mics together, be sure to use balanced dynamic mics. Unbalanced dynamic mics cannot be used when phantom power is enabled. i Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics could break them. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a ribbon mic.
