Zoom FIRE-18 - Manual (Page 25)

4 ZOOM FIRE-18M
1. With the level knobs on the rear panel turned fully down, connect the recorder, mixer, or other
external device to the RECORDING OUT jack.
For information on how to connect your instrument and how to use the front panel controls, see the FIRE-
18 manual.
* If you plug a pair of headphones into the [PHONES] jack on the front panel, the speaker is cut off and the
mic will pick up no sound and therefore deliver almost no signal.
2. Adjust the [MASTER] knob on the FIRE-18M to obtain a suitable volume.
* If the volume setting is too high or too low, the mic will not produce a proper signal. Start with the
[MASTER] knob in the center (12 o'clock) position and make adjustments as required by the playing
environment.
* Depending on the guitar and the amplifier settings, the output from the power amplifier and speaker may
be distorted. The sound picked up by the mic may also be unpleasant in such a case, but this is not a
defect.
3. Adjust the [MIC LEVEL] and [LINE LEVEL] knobs to obtain the desired balance between the line
signal and the mic signal.
The controls should be turned up fairly high, but not so high that clipping in the input stage of the
connected equipment occurs.
* The [MIC LEVEL] control has a wide adjustment range to allow for the considerable volume changes of
the speaker. Adjust the control frequently to match the speaker volume.
* Also make input level adjustments at the connected device, as necessary.
■ Troubleshooting
● No mic signal can be heard
• Is something connected to the front panel [PHONES] jack?
• Is the [MIC LEVEL] knob on the rear panel turned up to an adequate position?
• The mic signal has no effect on the output from the speaker.
● Mic signal is distorted
• Is the front panel [MASTER] knob turned up too high?
• Has the input level been adjusted properly at the connected device?
• Try adjusting the [MIC LEVEL] knob.
● Other sound is heard together with the mic signal
The mic also picks up ambient sound. Perform monitoring in a quiet location.
