GROUP MASTER level controls

These rotary controls adjust the levels of the group signals that are
fed to the tracks.

2

CUE MIX TO STEREO switch

This switch is used to feed the CUE bus signals through to the Ste-
reo bus. It’s used for multi-source mixing at mixdown.

3

STEREO fader

This fader is used to adjust the level of the stereo signal that is sent
to the STEREO OUT. For optimum performance this fader
should be positioned about the 7–8 mark.

4

TAPE IN MIX LEVEL control

This control adjusts the level of the TAPE IN signal that is fed to
the Stereo bus when the TAPE IN switch is set to TO STEREO. It
has no effect on the TAPE IN signal when the TAPE IN switch is
set to TO MONITOR.

5

TAPE IN switch

This switch is used to assign the TAPE IN signal to either the Ste-
reo bus or monitor. Select TO MONITOR when you want to
monitor the output of the stereo master recorder during mix-
down.

Select TO STEREO when you want to use TAPE IN as an extra
stereo input and feed the signal into the stereo mix. Use the TAPE
IN MIX LEVEL control to adjust the level.

6

MONITOR SELECT switches

These switches are used to select the signal source for the MON-
ITOR OUT and headphones.

GROUP

—These switches select the Group buses as the monitor

source. This allows you to monitor signals assigned to tracks.
When only the [1–3] or [2–4] switch is pressed, the monitor signal
is mono. Press both switches to monitor stereo signals.

STEREO

—This switch selects the Stereo bus as the monitor

source. This allows you to monitor the STEREO OUT signal and
is typically used during mixdown.

CUE

—This switch selects the CUE bus as the monitor source.

This allows you to monitor track signals, which is useful for punch
in/out.

7

MONITOR LEVEL control

This rotary control adjusts the level of the monitor signal that is
sent to the MONITOR OUT and headphones.

Warning:

Make sure the TAPE IN switch is set to TO MON-

ITOR when recording through the TAPE INs and TAPE
OUTs. If it’s set to TO STEREO there will be a signal loop
and oscillation may occur.
