Audio Switches
Located on top of the HD-P2, next to
the data wheel are switches for con-
trolling the analog audio inputs and
dynamics.

) switch
between the XLR and RCA jack
inputs. The
PAD
switches only apply to
signals coming in the XLR jacks.
Limiting can be turned on or off and
the
STEREO
LINK
switch enables stereo
limiting of the left & right channels.
When
STEREO LINK
is disabled, each
channel has its own mono limiter.
Audio Switches
PHANTOM
can be turned on to provide 48V phantom
power to the microphone inputs.
MIC
controls whether the left mic input is from the
internal microphone or from the normal input source.
Turning on
LOW CUT
provides a -18dB/oct, 100Hz low-
cut lter to the analog inputs.

Microphones should not be connected to or
disconnected from the HD-P2 with phantom
power switched on.
Unbalanced dynamic microphones should never
be connected to phantom-powered connectors.
