PHASE INVERT - 0 / 180 The Mic phase switch inverts the signal by 180 degrees when
engaged.
PHANTOM - The 48 Volt “PHANTOM” power is applied to the Mic input XLR when this switch is
engaged. This should only be used for microphones that require phantom power. Please make sure
this switch is not lit when changing microphones, as this could damage a microphone that is not
designed for Phantom power.
INPUT LEVEL - The INPUT LEVEL control is an input attenuator. It functions like a variable pad.
It acts on the Direct In (DI) and Mic inputs. Fully counter-clockwise is off, and clockwise rotation
increases the level. For the Mic input, fully clockwise represents 40dB of gain. With the gain switch
set to LOW and the input level set fully clockwise the MIC input will yield 40dB of gain and the
DI/LINE input will produce about 20dB of gain. Think of this control as a variable input pad. Start
with this control mostly wide open or fully turned clockwise.
DIRECT IN - The DI or Direct Input is an Instrument or Line Level input. This unbalanced 1/4
inch input jack is for use with guitars, keyboards, or any other instrument. When a plug is inserted,
the FORCE will automatically switch to the DI input. The DI input is an unbalanced 10 MegOhm input
that will not load down Hi Z instruments such as a guitar. The connections on this TS Jack are TIP-
HOT, SLEEVE-GROUND.
CHANNEL NUMBER - The dice inspired channel graphic signifies channel 1 to 4
POWER SWITCH AND LED - The push button power switch turns the FORCE on when pushed in. The
blue power LED blinks for 30 seconds while the unit warms up. It remains in MUTE condition for
these 30 seconds, after which the LED returns to full brightness and stops blinking. The FORCE is
now ready for use.
