Frequently Asked Questions
Can I switch between 48V and 12V output while a microphone is connected?
It is best to disconnect your microphone before switching voltage modes to avoid any signal pop or potential damage to sensitive condenser capsules.
Can I use the Neewer PP1 while it's charging?
It is generally recommended to fully charge the unit before use to avoid potential noise interference during recording sessions.
