Symptoms this guide addresses

  • Setup with condenser microphones
  1. Ensure microphone specifications tolerate phantom power to avoid damage.
  2. Enable phantom power via the switch.
  3. Wait two minutes after turning phantom power OFF before recording to allow DC bias to drain.
  4. Note: Audio mutes for a second when phantom power is turned ON.
