MICROPHONE RECORDING OPERATION:
So once the 456® Level has been adjusted for your system and you are monitoring in
VU Mode 1 (Default), simply plug in your choice of Microphone set the
OUTPUT
CONTROL
to 12 o’clock and adjust the GAIN control so that a reading around 0 VU is
obtained. Further fine adjustments can be made with the
OUTPUT CONTROL.
You can
then activate the 456HD® Process to hear the difference and then hear the changes as
you increase the
VU READING
just like when recording with tape as the record level
progressively saturates the tape.
LINE INPUT RECORDING OPERATION:
The Line Input function uses a separate transformer and XLR Connector and when the
Line Switch is pressed in this input is selected and the OUTPUT control sets the level
required. Up to 10dB of Gain is available and about 3dB of loss to enable ease of use.
Direct access to the 456HD® can then be made for use in other recording or mixing
scenarios.
