Mics
When using a condenser mic that requires phantom power,
set the +48V switch on the bottom panel to ON.
Using phantom power
When the +48V switch on the bottom panel is set to ON,
phantom power is turned on and sent to the connected
mics.
CAUTION
Confirm that phantom power is OFF before connecting •
a line level device to a XLR (MIC/LINE 1) IN connector.
If you connect a line level device while phantom power
is being supplied, that device and this unit could be
damaged.
When using a condenser microphone, before
•
connecting to and disconnecting from a XLR (MIC/LINE
1) IN connector, confirm that the phantom power for
that connector is OFF. If you connect or disconnect a
mic while phantom power is being supplied, that mic
and this unit could be damaged.
Do not supply phantom power to the
• XLR (MIC/
LINE 1) IN connector when an unbalanced dynamic
microphone is connected to it. Doing so could damage
the mic or this recorder.
Turn phantom power ON only when using a condenser
•
microphone that requires phantom power.
Supplying phantom power to some types of ribbon
•
microphones could break them. Do not supply phantom
power to a ribbon microphone if you are in doubt.
Do not connect or disconnect the AC adaptor when
•
using phantom power. Doing so could damage this
device.
Since using phantom power reduces the amount •
of time the unit can operate on battery power, we
recommend that you use a TASCAM PS-P520AC adaptor
(sold separately) or TASCAM BP-6AA external battery
pack (sold separately).
If alkaline batteries are used to supply phantom
•
power, some microphones will only be able to be used
for a very short amount of time. For this reason, we
recommend that you use a TASCAM PS-P520AC adaptor
(sold separately) or TASCAM BP-6AA external battery
pack (sold separately).
The amount of time that the unit can operate on battery
•
power varies greatly according to the type of mic used.
See the mic manual or documentation for additional
information.
