If you’re using a condenser mic that requires phantom power, turn phantom power on as described below:
- Press the [SYSTEM] button.
- Use the cursor [>] button to select “PhantomPower.”
- Turn the [MEMORY/VALUE] knob to select “ON.”
- Press the [EXIT] button to return to the play screen.
*Always turn the phantom power off when connecting any device other than condenser microphones that require phantom power.
