Operation

Selecting a signal source
Please select the desired input source using the source selection
switch.
Source-/tape switch (Monitor)
When pressing the monitor switch, you may access the signal that is
located at the tape-in (real-time tape control). Press again to return to
the signal of the selected source.
Use this function to check a recording in process or for looping-in
an external device. It might be useful for looping-in a reverberator or
sound processor in a recording studio.
Volume control
You may adjust the volume using the infinitely variable volume con-
trol. The position of the control is displayed entirely analog with the
help of precisely projected light spots.
-14 dB
This switch considerably expands the control range for “loud” sourc-
es such as CD players. The mostly used medium volume range is
zoomed out, thus allowing a very sensitive adjusting operation even
when using the remote control. This is advantageous, especially with
low acoustic volume or very loud signal sources.
Mute
Press the mute switch once to mute the outputs of the TEP 3800.
However, the tape-out remains activated in order to conduct record-
ings even when the device is in mute mode.
