[TRIM] control
You must pay great attention to the [TRIM] control adjustment when recording to the MR-8mkII.
The analog signal received at each input ([INPUT A] and [INPUT B]) is sent to the TRIM control,
by which the signal level fed to the A/D converter of the MR-8mkII is controlled.
You can check this level by the PEAK indicator. If the level is too high, the PEAK indicator lights,
while you may hear the sound distorted or noisy. This distortion (noise) generated at this stage
cannot be eliminated, therefore, adjust the TRIM control properly so that the PEAK indicator
does not light at the loudest part of the input signal.
