Preparation of input channels
(1)
Connect a microphone or line level source to each
of the [INPUT] connectors (1 through 3).
(2)
When you connect a microphone, set the input
select switch to “MIC”. When you connect a line
level source, set the input select switch to “LINE”.
(3)
When you connect a microphone, set the
microphone power supply switch appropriately.
When you connect a condenser microphone that
re48 V phantom power, set the switch to “P48”.
When you connect a condenser microphone that
requires T-12 power (A-B 12 V) such as Sennheiser
416T, set the switch to “P48”. When you connect a
dynamic microphone, set the switch to “DM”.
(1)
Connect an external audio device such as a
recorder to the [MAIN OUT] connectors (L and R).
(2)
Set the output level switch appropriately depending
on the device connected.
You can select from +4 dBu, 0 dBu, -20 dBu and -60
dBu.
(3)
To connect a -10 dBV unbalanced line level device,
use the [TAPE OUT] connector (stereo mini jack).
The nominal output level of this connector is fixed
to -10 dBV.
You can turn on the unit by setting the [POWER] switch
on the front panel to “INT” (upper position) or “EXT” (lower
position). When you operate the unit on internal battery
power, set the switch to “INT”.
When you operate the unit on external power, set it to
“EXT”. When you turn on the unit for the first time, the
display shows the stereo VU meters as shown below.
When you operate the unit on (internal on external) bat-
tery power, confirm that the battery power is sufficient by
checking the battery indicator on the meter display.
You can check the power voltage of the battery power
source from the system status display (see page 20).

<Memo>:
If you do not need T12 (A-B 12 V) power
supply capability, you can disable this capability from
the input status display. By default, it is enabled. See
page 16 for details.

Preparation of metering
(1)
Select stereo or mono metering.
When the unit is shipped, the display is set to stereo
VU and peak metering.
You can change it to L or R channel mono metering (see

When the unit is shipped, the display brightness is set
to “Level 3”.
You can change it to the optimum brightness according
to the circumstance. See page 14 for details.
