Using the wheel
After tapping a GAIN, fader or pan control or the MASTER level, the
wheel can be turned left and right to adjust the setting precisely.
This is convenient for precise adjustments after making rough value
changes by sliding.
Setting input levels
1. Open the MIXER screen.
2. Tap the input settings icon.
3. While inputting the voice and watching the level meters, adjust the
GAIN so that they average around −12 dB and the PEAK indicators
do not light.
NOTE
o If the input level exceeds –2 dB, the PEAK indicator on the unit will
light.
o The recording sound might distort when the PEAK indicator lights.
o If the entire level meter becomes red, the analog circuit is overload-
ing.
