Adjusting the input level
The signals that are input from MIC/LINE INPUT jacks 1–
8 are sent to input channels 1–8 respectively. Here's how
to adjust the input level of the input channel, and make
settings so that you can hear the sound from your moni-
tor system via the stereo bus.
1
Lower the [STEREO] fader to the –
∞
position.
Also turn down the [GAIN] knob for the MIC/
LINE INPUT jack to which your instrument/
mic is connected.
2
Press and hold the [INPUT SEL] key for the
jack to which your instrument/mic is con-
nected.
When you press and hold an [INPUT SEL] key, the
INPUT SETTING popup window will appear, allow-
ing you to make settings for the corresponding input
channel. The following diagram is an example of
the screen that will appear if you press and hold
[INPUT SEL] key 1.
1 INPUT LEVEL knob
Move the cursor to this knob and turn the [DATA/
JOG] dial to adjust the level of the input channel.
Normally you will leave this at the default setting of
0 dB. The current level is shown by the value (dB
units) above the knob.
B Stereo bus assign switch
When you move the cursor to this knob and press
the [ENTER] key, the signal that is sent from the cor-
responding input channel to the stereo bus will be
switched on/off.
C
Level meter
This indicates the input level of the input channel.
The
symbol in the window indicates the loca-
tion at which the level is detected.
D
EXIT button
Move the cursor to this button and press the
[ENTER] key to close the popup window and return
to the previous screen.
3
While you watch the level meter in the
popup window, produce sound on your
instrument, and turn the [GAIN] knob to
adjust the input level.
As you turn the [GAIN] knob toward the right, the
level meter in the popup window will move more
widely. (However, you will not yet hear anything
from your monitor system.)
For the best audio quality, adjust the level as high as
possible without allowing the meter to clip when
the loudest volume occurs.
4
While you play your
instrument, raise the
[STEREO] fader to the
0 dB position.
The LR meters at the right
of the screen will now
move. As you turn the
[MONITOR/PHONES] knob toward the right, you
should begin to hear sound from your monitor sys-
tem.
Note Note
If you still do not hear sound after raising the [STEREO]
fader, check the INPUT SETTING popup window to make
sure that the stereo bus assign switch is turned on, and
that the INPUT LEVEL knob value has not been set below
0.0 dB.
5
To exit the INPUT SETTING popup window,
move the cursor to the EXIT button and press
the [ENTER] key.
You will return to the previous screen.
Tip! Tip!
The level settings described above are the basic settings
for any type of recording --- not just for a sound clip. By
using the [GAIN] knob to raise the level as far as possible
without allowing distortion to occur, you can ensure that
the input signal is converted into digital form with the
highest possible quality before it is input to the mixer sec-
tion. If the [GAIN] knob is not raised sufficiently, you
may not be taking full advantage of the available dynamic
range of the mixer section and recorder section. When
the input LEVEL knob and [STEREO] fader are set to the
0 dB position, the input level will be output without
change to the recorder and monitor.
