This is a global phantom power switch and applies 48V to the XLR input connectors on channels 1 and 2. Dynamic microphones, like Shure's SM57 and SM58, do not require phantom power. However, phantom power will not harm most dynamic microphones should you accidentally plug one in while the phantom power is turned on. Be careful with older ribbon microphones. Check the manual for your microphone to find out for sure whether or not phantom power can damage it. 6. MAIN LEVEL This is used to adjust the signal level from the SRM150 mixer, going into the built-in power amplifier. Follow the Quick Start guide on page 4 for setting the MAIN LEVEL control. 7. HIGH, MID, and LOW EQ Use the EQ controls to make overall adjustments to the sound of the SRM150. The HIGH EQ provides a boost or cut of up to 15 dB for the very high frequencies, above 12 kHz. These frequencies include the sizzle of cymbals, the edge of a guitar, or the upper harmonics of vocals. In general, boosting the HIGH EQ will brighten the sound of the loudspeaker. The MID EQ provides a boost or cut of up to 15 dB for the mid-range frequencies around 2.5 kHz. Most vocals are located in the mid-range frequencies, so this can be used to bring the vocals up or down in the mix. The LOW EQ provides a boost or cut of up 15 dB for the very lowest frequencies, below 100 Hz. These frequencies are represented by the punch in bass drums, bass guitar, and some really serious male singers.
