1. Input faders [1-8]
These faders allow you to control the input level of signals
selected via the INPUT SEL switch [2] (that is, the input
signals from the INPUT jacks or the recorder output signals).
Nominal level is obtained at fader position of 7-8, and the
fader achieves approximately 6dB of gain at the 10 position.
2. Input select switches [INPUT SEL (INPUT/OFF/TRK)]
These switches allow you to select signals to be routed to
the input faders. The following options are available:
“INPUT” Signals from instruments and microphones connected
to the INPUT jacks are routed to the channel faders.
“OFF” The switch is turned off. No signals are routed.
“TRK” Recorder output signals (TRK 1-8) are routed to the
channel faders, with Track 1 output routed to Channel 1,
Track 2 routed to channel 2, etc.
3. Panpot knobs [PAN (L/R)]
Panpot knobs have the following two functions:
“MON L” The signal routed to the MON knob will be sent only to
monitor section “L.”
“Center” The signal routed to the MON knob will be sent to both
monitor section “R” and “L” at the same level.
“MON R” The signal routed to the MON knob will be sent only to
monitor section “R.”
4. Monitor panpot knobs [PAN (MON L/MON R)]
These knobs allow you to adjust the balance of the signals
that were level-adjusted for the level via the MON knob [5]
before you send them to the monitor section L and R. The
following options are available.
During recording, you can use them to pan channel signals of the
sound sources connected to the INPUT jacks to Tracks 1-8 .
Turn the knobs all the way to L or R. If you turn the knob to L, the
corresponding channel signal is recorded to Tracks 1 , 3 , 5 and 7.
If you turn the knob to R, the corresponding channel signal is
recorded to Tracks 2 , 4, 6 and 8.
For mixdown, use these knobs to determine the stereo image of
the playback sound of Tracks 1-8. Turn the knobs to the desired
position.
