5.4 Phantom power
Microphones requiring 48V phantom power can be
directly connected to the XLR sockets of channels 2
and 3/4. The phantom power can be switched on and
o via the 48V-switch.
The jack sockets of channel 1 and 3/4 can additio-
nally be supplied 15V-Phantomspeisung by an in-
ternal jumper.
Please note: For these alterations the device must
be opened, therefore only qualied service person-
nel may carry out the modications concerning the
activation of phantom power.
5.5 Stereo-Simulation
The Domino2.A is mono – thus L-out and R-out are
carrying the same output-signal. You can use these
sockets to connect additional active AER fullrange-
systems (e.g. AG 82, CX 8, AS Q8, AS 281), whose levels
are adjusted by the pre master-control independent
of the overall volume (master) of your Domino2.A. By
activating the stereo-simulation (stereo sim.-switch
pressed), a stereo-like, wider sound impression is ge-
nerated.
On stage (Domino2.A as monitor) the sound remains
unchanged..
General Note: Use of 48V or 24V phantom
power
(Phantom power = remote supply, here: powering
an audio device via the connected audio line)
Turn on the phantom power only if the unit con-
nected to the XLR sockets of channels 2 and 3/4 is
designed to handle it!
In general, suitable units are e.g. condenser micro-
phones, active DI-boxes and other special audio
devices, whose power supply is drawn from the
phantom power. Such devices are also labelled ac-
cordingly; please heed the permissible power con-
sumption (max.10mA).
High-quality dynamic microphones with a balanced
signal need no phantom power, but can handle it
anyway.
Other devices, which have not been designed expli-
citly for phantom power operation, can suer from
considerable malfunctions and damage may result
as well.
Examples of devices that may be damaged by in-
correct application of phantom power include:
Low-cost dynamic microphones with a mono jack-
plug (unbalanced signal) that were tted afterwards
with an XLR connector.
Audio devices with a balanced XLR output (e.g. DI-
boxes, eects devices, instrument preamps with
a DI output etc.) which are not protected against
phantom power applied to their XLR output. (The
DI connectors on AER products are protected
against applied phantom power.)
Other audio devices (such as preamps, eects pe-
dals etc.) whose unbalanced line output was repla-
ced by an XLR socket.
If in doubt please consult the manufacturer of the
device you are using.
