Input 1 and 2 Gain controls are now “linked.” This means that the Input 1 knob controls the
level of both Input 1 and Input 2, and the Input 2 knob controls the balance between them.
Selecting M/S activates the matrix circuit, sending normal L and R to your tracks.
Now when you adjust the Input Gain controls, the Bit-Depth / Sample Rate display...
...changes to
Gain (Input 1 control) and
Balance (Input 2 control).
A moving bar shows the balance.

At equal balance the bar turns into a star.
Start with the balance equal. Because of the high directionality of the Mid mic, you may want
to balance slightly (or not so slightly) in favor of the Side mic in order to achieve a natural-
sounding stereo. You are now ready to record.
