*The output must be connected to the XLR microphone input terminal using an XLR female-to-XLR male microphone cable. Connecting to a TS/TRS phone line input terminal may result in noise, insufficient volume, or noticeable noise when increasing the gain, preventing normal use.

*When connecting to an XLR input terminal of a mixer, etc., please ensure the phantom power from the mixer is OFF to avoid potential malfunction.

*The phantom power supplied by the effector is approximately +21V (measured value), therefore condenser microphones requiring +48V cannot be used.
