20 Introductory Recording Tutorial
02R Getting Started Guide
Setting the Input Level
Assuming that the 02R is powered ON and your music source is playing,
the very first thing you need to do is set up a basic control room monitor
mix. When you recall Scene Memory 0 “0 Initial Data”, all the channel
faders are set to the 0 dB mark.
Setting Fader Levels
If the faders are not set to 0 dB, you should perform the following steps to
optimize the input signal level for the best performance:
1. Set the fader for MIC/LINE 1 to the 0 dB mark.
The 0 dB fader position is a good place to start when setting fader levels. It
is a good setting with regard to signal level and noise performance and it
leaves room for you to raise the level later, if necessary.
2. Set the STEREO fader to the 0 dB mark.
The stereo output meters are indicating the stereo output level. The stereo
mix signal is now being output to the digital and analog STEREO OUT
connectors.
Selecting a Monitor Source
Before you can hear anything through your monitor amplifier and
speakers, you have to select a Control Room source:
1. Press the [ST] button of the CONTROL ROOM buttons group.
This selects the stereo bus for monitoring in the control room.
2. Adjust the volume with the C-R LEVEL control.
You should be able to hear the sound source through your monitor
speakers. If you are using stereo headphones, you will need to adjust the
PHONES LEVEL control to set a comfortable listening level.
Note: Be very careful with the level settings, especially if you are using stereo
headphones. When you are adjusting a unit as complex as the 02R, it is possible for
you to inadvertently switch on a very loud signal source. Damaged loudspeakers or
amplifiers can be very expensive. Damage to your hearing can be much worse. Your
ears are for life!
