This press box is great for press conferences where only six outputs are needed. It couldnt be easier to use or set up.

It's easy to use, plug in a line level and you get 6 mic levels out. The media who use it love it and happy media keeps us happy. It doesn't get any simpler and easier than this.

How does it work when phantom power is needed and there are multiple cameras conected ready to provide phantom power?
Asked by: BRIAN
The transformer coupled outputs do not allow phantom to pass through. If you need Phantom Power, Please look at the Press Power 2, PressWall or PressMite.
