Front panel LINE IN/INSERT jack
Normally, a line level sound source with a
1/4" type plug is connected here. (You
cannot plug in a microphone here.).
Signals applied to each input jack are
recorded on the track selected by the
corresponding REC TRK switch.
Therefore, by connecting four different
sound sources to these LINE IN/INSERT
jacks, you can record up to four tracks
simultaneously.
These jacks can also serve as an insert
point. For example, you can connect
various effects here, such as a compressor
for a mic input to a rear panel jack.
These jacks are used as insert points only
for sound sources input to the rear panel
(jack or XLR).
For information on connecting effects, refer
to page 25.
Rear panel MIC IN (1/3, 2/4) jack
Microphones are generally plugged in
here.
Use the trim knob provided for each input
to adjust the input level to match the output
level of the connected sound source.
The Trim knobs attenuate the input level
to accommodate inputs ranging from mic
to line level.
Both 1/4" jacks and XLR connectors are
provided, allowing for many types of sound
sources.
However, remember that priority is given
to the 1/4" jack. If it is being used, the
XLR connectors are ineffective.
Unlike the front panel input jacks, signals
input to MIC IN 1/3 will be routed to
channels 1 and 3 , and signals input to MIC
IN 2/4 will be routed to channels 2 and 4.
The REC TRK switch setting determines
which tracks will be recorded.
