with current 200mA minimum. Do not use voltage ove 12V othe wise
the unit will be damaged. There re 2 ports for d isy ch ining the input
power supply to other MIDI devices (They re not power supply ports).
Note: Do not plug into the extern l power supply socket if you re ph ntom powering the unit vi MIDI
c ble.

The FCB4N2 h s flexible power requirements between 9V-12V, AC or DC, 200mA. If you re using POD 2.0
(or XT), you c n plug the 9VAC power supply to n IO port (select one) nd then link the power supply to
your POD 2.0 (or XT) unit vi the other port. The s me volt ge/current s the input d pter will be p ssed
on to the POD 2.0 (or XT).

MIDI Cable Suppo t
The FCB4N2 is st nd rd MIDI foot controller th t you c n connect to ny MIDI equipment you w nt vi
st nd rd 5 pin MIDI c ble. If you w nt to supply ph ntom power into the FCB4N2 unit, it is v il ble by
using 7 pin midi c ble with pins 6 nd 7 used for the power supply. The pol rity does not m tter for those
pins. If you w nt to supply ph ntom power vi 5 pin midi c ble then the circuit reserved MIDI DIN pin 2
for ground nd pin 3 for supply but you h ve move jumper on the pcb to ctiv te this. We dis ble this
ph ntom power for protection of your MIDI devices. Ple se re d your MIDI device’s instruction before
en bling the ph ntom power.
