STEP 2: MONITOR SETUP
Once your source is connected to an input channel and that channel is assigned to one of the recorder’s tracks, you should set up your
monitor system so that you can listen to the track as it is recorded.
The MT1 ООП allows you to monitor the material being recorded either via a pair of headphones connected to the PHONES jack or
via a sound system with speakers connected to the MONITOR OUT Jacks. The level appearing at the PHONES jack and MONITOR
OUT jacks is controlled by the MONITOR/PHONES control. The MONITOR SELECT switch has three positions which allow you to
listen to tape tracks only (MONITOR position), input sources (STEREO position), or a combination (MIXposition).
MONITOR: In this position only the output from the recorder’s
four tracks is sent directly to the PHONES jack and the
MONITOR OUT jacks via the four MONITOR controls.
The MONITOR controls are used to create the desired
monitor "mix”. This setup is ideal for general monitoring
while recording because it allows you to listen to the
four tape tracks while leaving input faders available to
route signal sources to tape. Material already recorded
on any of the recorder’s tracks is delivered to the
PHONES jack and MONITOR OUT jacks via the corre­
sponding MONITOR controls. In this case, an input
source can only be heard when it is assigned to a track
via the appropriate REG SELECT switch, and the
TRANSPORT controls are in the RECORD or REC-
ORD/PAUSE mode.
STEREO: Only the stereo output from the mixer section is
sent to the PHONES jack and MONITOR OUT jacks.
This setting is most useful for mixdown of a completed
multitrack recording, since you want to hear the mix
produced by the mixer section’s input faders and any
effects applied using the AUX SEND and RETURN
controls while mixing.
[Note] Speakers should not be used for monitoring if you
will be recording via microphones, since the monitor
sound will leak into the microphone(s) and spoil the
recording.
MIX: Both the output from the recorder’s four tracks (via the
MONITOR controls) and the stereo output from the
mixer section are sent to the PHONES jack and MONI­
TOR OUT jacks.
