22 TASCAM DR-100MKIII4 – RecordingSetting power used by micsUsing phantom power1. Set the phantom power voltage to match the connectedmics. (See “Setting the phantom power voltage” on page22.)2. Set the PHANTOM power switch to ON only when acondenser microphone that requires phantom power isconnected to the MIC/LINE IN jack.3. When phantom power is turned on, a confirmation pop-upmessage appears.Press the ENTER/MARK button to supply phantom power tothe MIC/LINE IN jack.If you set the PHANTOM power switch to OFF while theconfirmation pop-up message is open, the message willclose and phantom power will not be enabled.NOTE• If you set the PHANTOM power switch to ON when thecharge of the battery being used is low, a BATTERY LOWpop-up message will open and phantom power will not beenabled.• When phantom power is being supplied the or iconwill appearCAUTION• Do not connect or disconnect mics from the MIC/LINE INjack while phantom power is ON. Doing so could causea loud noise and might damage this unit and connectedequipment.• Turn phantom power ON only when using a condensermicrophone that requires phantom power. Turningphantom power on when a dynamic mic or other externaldevice that does not require it is connected could damagethis unit and connected equipment.• When using condenser mics that require phantom powerand dynamic mics together, be sure to use balanceddynamic mics. Unbalanced dynamic mics cannot be usedwhen phantom power is enabled.• Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics will breakthem. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to aribbon mic.• Some condenser microphones will not operate whenphantom power is set to +24V.• The battery operation time depends on the mic being used.For details, refer to the mic operation manual.• When using phantom power during battery operation, theoperation time might be reduced drastically dependingon the mic. We recommend using a TASCAM PS-P520E ACadapter (sold separately) or, for battery operation, thebuilt-in battery or a TASCAM BP-6AA external battery pack.• Do not connect or disconnect the AC adapter when usingphantom power. The unit could turn off even when batteriesare installed, resulting in recorded data becoming damagedor lost.• When using USB bus power, the unit might not be able tosupply phantom power depending on the computer.8 Setting the phantom power voltage1. Select the I/O SETTING screen PHANTOM VOLT item to openthe PHANTOM VOLT screen. (See “Basic menu operation proce-dures” on page 10.)2. Set the supplied phantom power voltage.Options: +48V (default), +24VNOTEBattery power will be consumed faster when set to +48Vthan when set to +24V.Using plug-in powerPlug-in power can be supplied when a small condenser mic thatrequires plug-in power supply is connected to the EXT IN jack.1. Select the PLUG IN POWER item on the I/O SETTING screen.(See “Basic menu operation procedures” on page 10.)2. Turn plug-in power on or off.Options: OFF (default), ONCAUTIONWhen connecting a dynamic mic or external mic that has itsown battery, do not turn plug-in power on. If plug-in poweris on, it could damage the connected mic.
