5 – Basic recording
Selecting the input source
This unit has 22 inputs (22 line/16 mic inputs) with separate
MIC
and standard jacks.
The
LINE/INST (BAL)
input jacks on channels 1–2 support high
impedance input, including direct guitar input.
Turn the
INST
switch on (pushed in) when connecting an guitar
or similar instrument directly.
ATTENTION
Do not connect to both the
MIC
jack and the standard input
jack (
LINE/INST (BAL)
,
LINE (BAL)
,
L/MONO (BAL)
or
R
(BAL)
) on a channel at the same time.
TIP
Set the
INST
switch to off (not pushed in) when connecting
an electric-acoustic guitar with a built-in preamp or an active
electric guitar, as well as when an effect is connected be-
tween an guitar and this unit.
Setting the MODE switch
Using the
MODE
switch settings of each channel to select their
input sources individually.
LIVE
: Use the signal from the input jack as the input source.
PC
: Use a signal from a computer connected to the
USB
port as the input source.
MTR
: Use a playback signal from the SD card as an input
source.
When a
MODE
switch is set to “
MTR
”, the signal from the input
jack on that channel will be recorded.
This function is useful when recording and playing back repeat-
edly because the monitored sound is automatically switched
according to the recording or playback status.

ATTENTION
i
Before connecting condenser mics, turn this unit and all
equipment to be connected off (standby).
i
The
P48V
switch turns it on/off for the input
channels (
1-12
,
13/14
-
19/20
) simultaneously. Do not turn
the
P48V
switch on (pushed in) when connecting
a mic that does not require phantom power.
i
Do not connect or disconnect mics when the
PHANTOM
+48V
switch is on (pushed in). Doing so could cause a loud
noise and might damage this unit and connected equipment.
i
Turn the
P48V
switch on (pushed in) only when
using a condenser microphone that requires phantom power.
Turning the
P48V
switch on (pushed in) when a
dynamic mic or other mic that does not require it is connect-
ed could damage this unit and connected equipment.
i
When using condenser mics that require phantom power
and dynamic mics together, be sure to use balanced dynamic
mics. Unbalanced dynamic mics cannot be used when phan-
tom power is enabled.
i
Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics could break
them. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a
ribbon mic.
Monitoring

With this unit, monitoring is possible using an external monitor-
ing system (powered monitor speakers or an amp and speakers)
or using stereo headphones.
Use the
CONTROL ROOM
and
PHONES
knobs to adjust the
level of the monitoring system.
