of the 664’s circuit cutting the low-frequency signals before amplification, higher
headroom is achieved in the presence of signals with significant low-frequency
energy.
When possible, attempt to equalize at the sound source with microphone
selection, placement, windscreens, and on-board microphone filtering. Many
microphones have on-board high-pass filters. Use the high-pass filters on the
664 in conjunction with the microphone’s filter to increase the filter’s slope.
Setting L, R, X1, and X2 Routing
Routing of inputs to L, R, X1, and X2 tracks can be adjusted quickly from the
Input Settings screen. An input’s routing to a track is indicated on the Input
Settings screen with labels in the bottom left (X1/X2) and bottom right (L/R) of
the LCD. A red label indicates the input is routed and a black label indicates the
input is not routed.
