5. Mode d'emploi
The rolls PB23 is designed for simple, plug-and-play operation. Once connected as described in the Setup Guide, it automatically provides the necessary 48V phantom power to your condenser microphone.
- The unit operates continuously when powered. There is no on/off switch on the PB23 itself; power is controlled by connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter from the wall outlet.
- Ensure your mixer's input gain is set appropriately for the microphone being used.
- The PB23 is designed to power a single microphone. Do not attempt to connect multiple microphones to one PB23 unit using Y-cables or similar configurations.

- Manutention: Manipulez l'appareil avec précaution. Évitez de le faire tomber ou de le soumettre à des chocs violents, qui pourraient endommager ses circuits internes.
- Ventilation: Ensure the unit has adequate ventilation and is not covered, to prevent overheating.
7. Dépannage
If you encounter issues with your PB23, refer to the following table for common problems and their solutions:
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power indicator light (pwr LED off) | Power adapter not connected or faulty; outlet not active. | Ensure power adapter is securely connected to the PB23 and a working electrical outlet. Test the outlet with another device. |
| Aucun son du microphone | Incorrect connections; faulty microphone or cables; mixer input issues. | Verify all XLR cables are correctly connected (Mic to PB23 Input, PB23 Output to Mixer Input). Test microphone and cables with another setup if possible. Check mixer input settings. |
| Bruit de bourdonnement ou de bourdonnement | Boucle de masse ; câble défectueux ; interférences. | Ensure all equipment is properly grounded. Try different XLR cables. Move the PB23 away from other electronic devices that might cause interference. |
| Weak or distorted signal | Microphone not receiving full phantom power; faulty microphone. | Confirm the pwr LED is on. Test with a different condenser microphone if available to rule out microphone issues. |
