Mic
Mic input jacks 1 and 2 (INPUT 1, 2) can accept mics with either XLR plugs
or phone plugs. The XLR jacks can provide phantom power for condenser
mics that require it. The phone jacks can accept either balanced or
unbalanced connections.
If you are using a condenser mic that uses phantom power, turn on the
phantom power switch.
* You must leave the phantom power turned off unless you are using a condenser
mic that requires phantom power. Malfunctions will occur if phantom power is
supplied to a dynamic mic or an audio playback device. For details on the
specifications of your mic, refer to the owner's manual supplied with your mic.
(The M-100FX's phantom power supply is DC 48 V, 10 mA maximum.)

the circuitry.
Phantom power
This is a method of
supplying power for a
condenser mic or similar
device via the mic cable.
The built-in phantom
power supply provides 48
V (direct current). The
shape of the plug is
identical to that of a
conventional XLR plug.
