96kHz), WORD CLOCK IN, or DIGITAL OUT A.

If you do not press the [WORD CLOCK] button again 
before the indicator stops flashing (it will flash for five 
seconds), the new selection is cancelled and the 
previous wordclock is selected.

flashes.
NOTE: 
 
The only word clock source available via the AES/EBU 
connection is the IN signal of DIGITAL OUT A channels 1/

Setting the Phantom Power
 
Follow the steps below to turn the +48V phantom 
power for each channel on or off.
NOTE: 
 
You can also turn the phantom power for all channels on 
or off simultaneously (not individual channels) using the 
[+48V MASTER] switch. When the [+48V MASTER] switch 
is turned off, the phantom power is not supplied to 
channels even if the [+48V] button is turned on for the 
 
channels.

Press the [+48V] button.
If phantom power for the selected channels was off 
before the operation, the [+48V] button indicator 
starts flashing rapidly. If phantom power for the 
selected channels was on before the operation, the 
[+48V] button indicator and the phantom power for 
the selected channels turns off.

While the indicator is flashing rapidly, press 
the [+48V] button again.
The phantom power for the selected channels turns

Follow the steps below to adjust the channel gain in 
1dB steps.

Press the Channel Select button to select a 
channel.
The selected channel’s Channel Select button indicator 
lights up and the Gain display indicates the gain value.

Rotate the Gain control to adjust the gain
You can adjust the gain in the range of 10dB through 
–62dB in 1dB steps.
NOTE: 
While adjusting the gain, you may notice that the sound is 
briefly interrupted. This is not a malfunction. The internal 
setting is switched in steps of 6 dB, and the sound is 
momentarily muted so that the noise will not be created 
during the switching operation.
Adjusting the Gain Trim (Gain 
Correction)
Follow the steps below to correct the channel gain in 
0.1dB steps. The output level of each channel has been 
calibrated in the factory. Typically, you will not have to 
correct the setting.
NOTE: 
In the factory, the level has been set to the optimum value 
and the initial level varies with each channel. This setting 
is reset to the factory value when you initialize the backup 
memory.

Select button for more than two seconds.
