Use only high-quality professional speaker cables with ¼” TS or twist-locking plugs pre-installed. All other installation or modification should be performed only by qualified personnel.

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure – voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock.

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. Please read the manual.

Controls

Product Overview

Use the POWER SUPPLY CONNECTOR to hook up the enclosed power supply unit. Next to this connector you’ll find the strain relief clamp, which prevents accidental release of the power supply.
This is the balanced XLR OUTPUT of your MIC300. Use this connector to feed the XLR input of your mixing console, multitrack recorder or power amp.
The balanced ¼” TRS OUTPUT of your MIC300 can also be connected to either mixer, recording system or power amp.
The balanced ¼” TRS INPUT of your MIC300 can be used to connect your electric guitar, for example. This input is wired in parallel to the XLR input.
Use the balanced XLR INPUT to connect your microphone.
In contrast to its outputs, the MIC300’s inputs should never be used simultaneously!
The GAIN control allows applying gain from +26 to +60 dB to the input signal. This control should be set fully counterclockwise when (dis)connecting a sound source to the MIC300. When all connections are made, slowly start raising gain.
We recommend using the LED meter to adjust gain. The LED chain displays the output signal level in dB. Please make sure that the clip LED never lights up permanently. It should light up only at peak signals, but never all the time.
The 20 dB PAD button reduces the input sensitivity by 20 dB. The appropriate setting depends on the equipment connected. No matter what your application is, the clip LED warns you to reduce the gain setting, so as to avoid distortion.
This +48 V switch activates the phantom power supply for the XLR input. Phantom power supply is required for operating condenser microphones.
With the PHASE REVERSE switch, the input signal is reversed by 180°. This function is available for both mic and line signals. Use this function in a multi-microphone setup if you detect phase cancellations in specific frequency bands.
