Powering S direct
The S direct can operate on a single 9 Volt battery or standard 24-48 volt phantom
power. Whenever phantom power is present on the XLR cable that is connected to
the Balanced Output, the S direct will automatically switch to phantom power and
disconnect the 9 Volt battery. The Phantom/Battery switch can be used to turn off the
battery power when the unit is not in use.
