pushed) or even live signals from
amplifiers (both buttons pushed).

6. Ground Lift Button
The ground lift switch allows you
to connect and disconnect the
grounding of the DB3's inputs and
outputs. Depending on the devices
used, disconnecting or connecting
the grounding can help reduce hum
and ground loops. When the Ground
Lift button is pushed in, the grounds
are not interconnected.
7. Power ON/OFF Button
This button turns the DB3 on and
off. There are two power modes:
Battery and Phantom. Typically, the
DB3 will use battery power, however
when phantom power between 18V
and 52V is detected, the unit will
automatically disable the battery
power and use the phantom power
instead.
8. Battery Compartment
The DB3's battery is held within this
compartment. Unscrew the cover
and replace the 9V battery whenever
necessary. When at all possible,
Phantom Power can be used to
conserve the battery's power.
