  • 48VPhantom ON · Volt ch 5

    Powers the Cloudlifter CL-1 in front of the SM7B on the Princeton. The SM7B is dynamic and ignores 48V — the CL-1 needs it.

  • 48VPhantom ON · Volt ch 6

    Radial J48 is an active DI — the XLR out of the pedal chain needs 48V to run.

  • DIRDirect monitor · engaged for keys

    Front-panel Direct button routes ch 5–6 straight to the headphone mix, zero round-trip latency while tracking through the pedals.
