What to do About Low-Level Input Signals

Occasionally, you may have a source which has a very low input level, such as when using a large diaphragm dynamic mic

to record a soft-spoken vocalist. Use the steps below to provide extra gain to low-level inputs:

1. Turn the INPUT sensitivity knob all the way clockwise.

2. Press the input SELECT button. There are two settings in the Input Mixer page that can provide additional recording

signal gain:

ATT (Attenuation):

In addition to the Input Sensitivity knob used in Step 1, this can provide attenuation—a reduction in volume—or up to 6 dB

of additional gain.

Fader:

This is the fader for the Input Mixer. Since all input sources pass through the input fader before going to the recorder, the

position of this fader will determine recording levels. The position of this fader defaults to 100, which corresponds to unity

gain. This fader can be increased up to 127.

If you are using the fader to control the level of the input source, make sure that the [FADER/MUTE] button is set to “IN.”

When You Are Recording in Stereo

When recording to Tracks 9/10-15/16 (stereo tracks), or when recording to tracks with Stereo Link (p. 77) on, it is best to turn

Stereo Link on for the inputs as well. If you are recording independent mono signals to a linked track, you will need to set

the pan for each input channel. After Step 3, perform the procedure described below.

1. Press the SELECT button for the input you want assigned to the track.

2. Press [F1 (MIX)]. If “MIX” does not appear in the display, first press [PAGE] until “MIX” is displayed, then press [F1

(MIX)]. Or, you can use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to “MIX.”

3. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to change the pan setting.

Master Send Switch

When this is set to “On,” each input is sent to the MIX bus. Keep this setting to “On” when you want to simply mix the

inputs without recording them.

Master Send Pan

This adjusts the pan setting (L63-R63) of the signal sent to the MIX bus and the RECORDING bus.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for all inputs you want to make pan settings on. If you are recording a mono source to a mono

track, it is not necessary to change the pan setting.

5. When you’re done, press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.
