XLR Inputs
On the right side of the Tascam are 8 XLR inputs and two XLR line level outputs. Plug your source devices
into the inputs 1-8. Alongside each input is a physical switch to select normal mic level; strongly
attenuated mic level (-25dB); or line level. Use the attenuated mic level if your microphone is putting
out very high volume, such as from some hot condenser mics, or from very loud sources.
If your input device is at line level, but you feel that the feed is still a bit on the low side according to
your meters, you can adjust the line level overall sensitivity by going to the
SYSTEM SETUP
screen in the
MENU
, and changing the
REF LEVEL
.
Channel Setup
As described in Part 1, go to the
Channel Setup
screen in the
MENU
section. Select the appropriate
parameters for each input channel that you are using, such as Phantom on/off, and so on. At this stage,
you do NOT need to worry about arming the track, nor adjusting the pan and output levels. Those tasks
can be done from the HOME screen later on.
