To avoid unwanted signal noise on the RCA ports, we recommend adding no more than 12dB of gain to the
RCA port or when XLR B/RCA is used
Connecting devices that are not designed for phantom power when phantom power is enabled for
the two XLR ports can seriously damage those devices. Always check the phantom power LED
before connecting devices to the XLR ports.
To choose a different audio device for the channel:
1. Using a web browser on the admin computer, go to the IP address of your Pearl Mini and log in, see
Connect to the Admin panel
.
2. From the Channels menu, select your channel (i.e. HDMI-A or HDMI-B) and click Layouts. The custom
channel layout editor page opens.
3. Check the audio source that you want to use for the layout and click Save.
