Connecting microphones
! If you are going to use a ribbon microphone, make sure that the 48V Phantom Power is switched Off before
connecting the microphone. Otherwise, the ribbon microphone might get permanently damaged!
! Before connecting a microphone to any of the MIC inputs, make sure you have either muted the Propellerhead
Balance outputs (see “Muting the audio outputs”) or turned down the volume completely (or shut off) your
powered monitor speakers/amplifier/headphones. This is to prevent pops and/or audio feedback loops, which
might cause hearing damage!
q When you are recording using a microphone, it’s always wise to mute the Propellerhead Balance outputs or
shut off your speakers/amplifier and only use headphones to prevent the risk of audio feedback loops. Before
playing back audio from your computer through speakers, always set the Input Level knob(s) to zero (fully
counter clockwise) - or disconnect your microphone to prevent the risk of audio feedback loops!
1. Turn the Main Out Level knob and Headphones knob (if headphones are connected) all the way down.
2. Turn the input level knobs all the way down.
3. Connect your microphone to one of the MIC inputs.
