Names and Functions
<Top Panel>
1. Input/playback level control faders
These faders have two functions:
One function controls the recording level. Input
levels applied to the INPUT jacks (front or rear) are
controlled by this knob.
The other function controls the tape playback level
of each track. For more information on using these
faders, refer to the “Basic Recording” and “Basic
Playback Procedure” sections.
2. Master fader [MASTER]
This fader controls the output level from LINE OUT
L and R.
3. Record track select switch [REC TRK]
This switch is used to select recording tracks.
Press the switch repeatedly to select the desired
track. The track indicator (red) of the selected track
lights up to indicate that this track is REC READY.
To cancel the track selection, press the switch
repeatedly until none of the track indicators are lit.
<Note>
When the Track Down button is “ON,” the REC TRK switches
are disabled. Also, if the Auto Bounce button or Track Down
button is switched on and off while any one REC TRK switch
is set to REC READY state, the selected REC TRK switch
will be canceled. In this case, reselect the recording track
using the REC TRK switch.
4. Record track indicator
This indicator lights up in red to indicate that the
track is in the REC READY mode when you press
the REC TRK switch.
5. Auto bounce indicator
This lights up in green when you press the Auto
Bounce button, indicating that the corresponding
track is selected as the auto bounce destination.
6. Pan pot knob [PAN]
When the AUX indicator is lit, use these knobs to
adjust the stereo imaging of channel signals routed
to the INPUT faders. When the MON MIX indicator
is lit, use these knobs to control the stereo imaging
of each track sound.
7. Monitor/AUX send level control knob [MON
MIX/AUX]
This knob enables you to adjust the level of the
channel signal for monitoring or to control the level
of the signal sent to the AUX bus.
8. Equalizer control knobs [EQ HI, EQ LO]
The X-34 is equipped with a two-band, shelving-type
EQ. These knobs are used to adjust tonal quality of
the signals routed to the channel faders. The
following settings are available:
HI: Signals with a frequency of 10kHz will be boosted
and cut up to +/–12 dB.
LO: Signals with a frequency of 100Hz will be
boosted and cut up to +/–12 dB.
9. Trim knob
Use this knob to adjust the input level depending on
the sound source input to the rear panel MIC IN jack
(1/4" or XLR).
This knob enables you to adjust from a signal that
ranges from line level to mic level.
