Rear Panel Features
1. PHANTOM POWER – This switch activates
and deactivates phantom power. When
activated, phantom power supplies +48V to the
XLR mic inputs. Please note that most dynamic
microphones do not require phantom power,
while most condenser microphones do. Consult
your microphone’s documentation to find out
whether it needs phantom power.
2. POWER SWITCH – Turns the MultiMix 4 USB
FX on and off. Turn on the MultiMix 4 USB FX
after all input devices have been connected and before you turn on amplifiers or powered speakers.
Turn off amplifiers
or power speakers before you turn off the MultiMix 4 USB FX.
3. POWER IN – Use the included power adapter (18V DC, 800 mA, center-positive) to connect the MultiMix 4
USB FX to a power outlet. While the power is switched off, plug the power adapter into the MultiMix 4 USB FX
first, and then plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
4. USB PORT – Use the included cable to connect the MultiMix 4 USB FX to a computer. MultiMix 4 USB FX
requires a USB 1.1 or higher (e.g. USB 2.0) connection.
