Activating phantom power
Please always follow these instructions to active and deactivate phantom power – also
when changing microphones. The input stages of the P8 can be damaged if you ignore
these procedures.
1. Connect the microphones to the preamps of the P8.
2. Now activate phantom power.
3. When recording is completed, first thing is to deactivate the phantom power.
4. Wait at least one minute after deactivation of phantom power before disconnecting the
microphone! This ensures residual current will be discharged.
