*DO NOT* use bias with an MC-50/MC-60.  The microphone is
dynamic (moving coil) and DC on the coil can *DAMAGE* the
element (true for *any* dynamic mic).

FP.H is the correct setting *without* "bias" - tap 2 to
toggle bias.  If the gain is too low (it should not be)
enable the second preamp (FP.H-) by tapping "7".  "1"
will toggle between PF.H and FP.L.
