Configuring Audio Signal Settings
Chapter 2 Preparations
Configuring the Mic/Line Levels for
Audio Inputs
Adjustment of mic/line levels is necessary when the peak
indicators light red, or when the input signal indicators do
not light while audio signal input exists.
When the peak indicators light red
A channel fader’s peak indicator will light red if the audio
signal input is too loud. In this case, since the analog mic/
line level exceeds the input level of the currently selected
line, use the following procedure to adjust it.
1
Press the SETUP button to display the [Setup] menu.
2
Turn the V1 knob to select [Audio], and press the
knob.
3
Turn the V1 knob to select the number of the MIC/
LINE IN connector ([MIC/LINE 1 Level] to [MIC/
LINE 6 Level]) for which you want to configure the
mic/line level, and turn the V4 knob to select the level.
4
Repeat step 3 to configure the levels for the other MIC/
LINE IN connectors.
Setting example:
If a peak indicator lights at the default setting of
[–20 dB], select the [+4 dB] setting. (However, the
peak indicator may also light at the [+4 dB] setting in
some cases.)
When the input signal indicators do not
light
When the input signal indicators do not light even when
audio signals are being input, the reference values for the
mic/line levels are not being met. In such cases, perform
the previous peak indicator procedure, and configure the
lower mic/line levels for the respective channels.
Setting example:
If an input signal indicator does not light at the default
setting of [–20 dB], select the [–44 dB] setting.
