4. Operation
4.1 Batteries and External Power
TheType12ABcanbepoweredeitherbyinternalbatteries(Fig.3.1)orfromanexternalpower
supplyviatheDCinputontherearpanel(Fig.2.4).Ifanexternalpowersupplyisused,thebat-
terieswithintheunitwillbeautomaticallydisconnected.Externalpowershouldbe12-18VDC,
e.g.fromaG.R.A.S.mains/lineadapterAB0002(Europe)/AB0003(USA).
WhenevertheType12ABisswitchedon,thebattery-levelmeteronthefrontpanel(Fig.2.1)
shouldalwayspointtothegreenzonetoensurecorrectoperation.Ifitpointstotheredzone,
eitherthebatteriesarelowandshouldbechanged(seesection3.1)ortheexternalDCsupply

4.2 PolarizationVoltageandPreamplierSupplyVoltage
Polarizationvoltagecanbeswitchedfrom200Vto0V(seesection3.2).Use200Vforstandard
externally-polarizedcondensermicrophones,and0Vforprepolarized(electret)microphones.
