Tip!
Tip!
The level settings described above are the basic settings
for any type of recording --- not just for a sound clip. By
using the [GAIN] knob to raise the level as far as possible
without allowing distortion to occur, you can ensure that
the input signal is converted into digital form with the
highest possible quality before it is input to the mixer sec-
tion. If the [GAIN] knob is not raised sufficiently, you
may not be taking full advantage of the available dynamic
range of the mixer section and recorder section. When
the input LEVEL knob and [STEREO] fader are set to the
0 dB position, the input level will be output without
change to the recorder and monitor.
