MIC 1-2 GAIN
These knobs adjust the input gain levels of the Mic 1 and Mic 2 inputs.
LINE 1-2 GAIN
These knobs adjust the input gain levels of the Line 1 and Line 2 inputs.
PEAK LEDS
These LEDs light when the input signal is within 5 dB of analog clipping. If the Peak
LEDs flicker occasionally, the signal is approaching clipping levels, but this does not
necessarily indicate distortion or actual clipping.
MONITOR ASSIGN
These buttons select whether a pair of analog audio sources will be heard in stereo
or mono in the Direct Monitor Mix. In Stereo mode, the left inputs (Mic 1, Line 1)
are routed to the left monitor and right (Mic 2, Line 2) inputs are routed to the right
monitor.
In Mono mode, you’ll hear the selected inputs in the center of the Direct Monitor Mix
through the Headphone or Line outputs.
When a Monitor switch is in Mono, it does not change the signals going to the
computer in any way — they will still be separate and stereo in the computer.
For the cleanest
recording,
adjust the Gain
so the level
reaches at least
-6 on the Input
Bargraph Meter,
but never lights
the Clip LED
on the loudest
sound you’ll be
recording. If you
see the Peak LED
light constantly,
turn the Gain
knob down until
it flashes only
occasionally, on
the loudest part of
the performance.
DO NOT TURN

THE
