Controls and Indicators   

7 

In the HOLD position, the footswitch becomes a momentary switch: when you press down 

and hold the footswitch, the FX Loop is activated (the status LED lights), upon releasing 
the footswitch, the FX Loop is deactivated (the status LED shuts off). Remember, in HOLD 

mode, you must push and hold the footswitch to activate the FX Loop. 

(9) ‘48V PHANTOM’ POWER Switch 

Located on the back panel of the Mixing Link, next to the PWR jack, the 3-Position toggle 

switch both activates the Mixing Link’s 48V Phantom Power circuit and is the battery’s 

power switch when powered from a 9V battery. If powered from the AC Adapter, push the 

switch up to the 48V position to enable phantom power; to disable phantom power, set the 

switch to the OFF position. Push the switch down to the BATTERY setting to enable the 

9V battery’s power; set the switch to the middle OFF position to disconnect the battery and 

power down the unit. 

The Mixing Link supplies phantom power only when a 9VDC AC Adapter powers the 

pedal; it cannot provide phantom power when run from a 9V battery. The OFF position for 

the 48V toggle switch both disables phantom power and disconnects the 9V battery from 

the circuit. When you power the Mixing Link from an AC Adapter, power is always applied 

to the pedal no matter the setting of the 48V toggle switch. Inserting a 9VDC AC Adapter 

plug into the power jack disconnects the battery from the circuit; the BATTERY position on 

the toggle switch is ignored. 

(10) ‘48V PHANTOM’ LED  

This orange LED lights when phantom power is active. The 48V PHANTOM LED is 

powered directly from phantom power thereby indicating that phantom power is both 

active and working correctly. It is normal for some microphones to draw more current from 

phantom power and cause this LED to dim. 

 (11) PWR ON LED 

This green LED lights whenever Mixing Link is powered up. It illuminates when receiving 

power from either the AC Adapter or 9V battery. 

 (12) GND LIFT Button   

Connects or disconnects GND (ground) from pin 1 of the DI/LINE OUT XLR connector.  

Button OUT: Pin 1 of the XLR connector connected to the Mixing Link’s GND.  

Button IN: Pin 1 of the XLR connector is disconnected/lifted from GND. Pin 1 is floating in 
the LIFT position.  

Note: 

Normally it is best to leave pin 1 connected to GND but if you hear hum (buzzing) and you 

are using the DI/LINE OUT connector, try lifting the GND from the connector. Doing so 

may help eliminate ground loops.
