Where do you access the mic pre and phantom power controls for the Model 210?

• A. Front panel
• B. Back panel dip switches
• C. Side panel
• D. Under the desk

Answer: (B)

The controls for mic pre and phantom power on the Model 210 are on the back panel as small DIP switches. This placement keeps the high-voltage phantom power out of the way and makes the settings less likely to be bumped during use, while still letting you configure each channel’s mic pre and phantom power reliably. Front panels usually carry the knobs you touch often, like gain and level meters, but the actual power and per-channel configuration that governs the preamp behavior lives on the rear for safety and stability. You’d use the back-panel switches to enable 48V phantom power and to set the mic pre options for each input.
