5. XLR Mic Inputs: Connect microphones using balanced XLR audio cable (mic cable).
   1. Input Impedance of 1K ohms
   2. PIN 1 = Shield / Ground
   3. PIN 2 = Positive (+hot)
   4. PIN 3 = Negative (-cold)
6. Channel Volume Controls: This acts as a preamp gain control. Level should be lower than the Master Volume (Item 14).

15. Phantom Power ON/OFF Button (red LED indicates power on): When activated, phantom power provides 48 volts DC to power condenser microphones, allowing them to function (while not affecting dynamic microphones). Please advise certain (ribbon) microphones can be damaged if used with phantom power.
16. RCA Record Out: Sends signal to a recording device or any other line level device (i.e. powered speaker or another amplifier).
17. RCA Line In: Used to connect line level sources such as CD players, cassette decks, laptops, MP3 players, etc. 
    • Dual RCA to Dual RCA Cable can be used to connect stereo RCA audio sources (or mono; using RCA Y-Adaptor).
    • 3.5mm to Dual RCA "Y" Cable can be used to connect stereo 3.5mm audio sources.
    • RCA Y-Adaptor can be used to 
18. Line In Volume Control: Level control for RCA Line In (Item 17).
19. Effects Controller:
    • Volume: Controls the level of the effects added back to the master mix.
    • Echo: Controls the amount of time before the echoes (i.e. 200 milliseconds, 300 milliseconds). Increasing this control will simulate the effects of a larger space.
    • Repeat: Controls the rate at which the echo decays, or how long the echo continues to repeat before fading out.
20.  5-Band Equalizer: Adjusts frequencies ±12dB

⚠️Never unplug or plug in any microphones while phantom power is on. It can cause severe damage to the mic. When phantom power is turned off, it is recommended you wait approximately 7 seconds so as to allow time for the voltage to completely dissipate.

2. ¼˝ Speaker Outputs: TS Jacks supports up to two 8-ohm speakers, or a single 4-ohm speaker.
   ⚠️ Do not operate below rated minimum impedance (i.e. using two 4-ohm speakers).
3. Power: ON/OFF Switch
4. Variable Voltage Selector Switch (110V/220V): Should be set for 110V for use with US electrical outlets.
    ⚠️Using 220V setting with US (110-120V) outlets could damage the unit or cause it to malfunction.
