1.MIC/LINE 1-2 IN
This is a XLR connector that accepts a XLR plug from any balanced or unbalanced microphone. The XLR input is wired as follows:
Pin 1 = shield or ground
Pin 2 = + positive or "hot"
Pin 3 = - negative or "cold"
2.CH1-2 PHANTOM SWITCH
This switch activates (LED on) and deactivates (LED Off ) the phantom power on MIC 1-2 Inputs. Most professional condenser microphones require phantom power, which is a lower DC voltage delivered to the microphone on pin 2 and 3 of the XLR microphone connector. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power, however phantom power will not harm most dynamic microphones should you plug one in while the phantom power is on. Check the manual of your microphone to find out for sure whether or not phantom power can damage it.
3.MIC/LINE 3-4 IN
This is a female combo connector that accepts a XLR or a JACK plug from any dynamic balanced or unbalanced microphone. The XLR input is wired as follows:
Pin 1 = shield or ground
Pin 2 = + positive or "hot"
Pin 3 = - negative or "cold"
The JACK input is wired as follows:
Tip = + positive or "hot"
Sleeve = shield or ground
