OAUX send Controls
The AUX SEND controls are used primarily when adding
effects such as reverberation or echo to the sound of a
channel or track. The AUX SEND control on each mixer
channel determines the amount of signal from that chan­
nel sent to the AUX SEND jack. The AUX SEND jack must
be connected to the input of an external signal processor
such as the YAMAHA FX500 Simul-effect Processor (see
"USING THE AUX SEND/RETURN LOOP” on page 20).
OAUX RETURN Control
The AUX RETURN control determines the level at which
the signal from an external signal processor is returned
and mixed in with the MTIOOH’s main stereo output signal.
The output from an external signal processor fed by the
AUX SEND jack must be connected to the AUX RETURN
jack(s) (see "USING THE AUX SEND/RETURN LOOP” on
page 20).
® MONITOR SELECT Switch
MONITOR: This position is selected to listen to the four
tape tracks. In this position a mix from the four
MONITOR controls is sent to the PHONES jack and
the MONITOR OUT jack.
MIX: This position is selected to hear a combination of the
four tape tracks and input sources connected to the
input jacks. The mix from the MONITOR controls is
combined with the stereo output from the mixer sec­
tion and sent to the PHONES jack and MONITOR
OUT jack.
STEREO: This position is selected to monitor the stereo
output from the mixer section. In this position, the
mix sent to the MONITOR OUT jack and PHONES
jack is the same mix that is sent to the STEREO
OUT jacks.
©MONITOR Controls 1 — 4
The four MONITOR controls determine the level of the
signal from the corresponding recorder tracks which is
sent to the PHONES jack and MONITOR OUT jacks when
the MONITOR SELECT switch is set to either “MONITOR”
or "MIX.” The MONITOR controls are primarily used to set
up the optimum levels for monitoring recorded tracks while
recording new material (overdubbing).
©MONITOR/PHONES Control
This control is used to set headphone and control room lis­
tening level. It adjusts the level of signal sent to the
PHONES jack and MONITOR OUT jacks with out affecting
the signal level appearing at the STEREO OUT jacks.
©MASTER Fader
The MASTER fader sets the overall output level of the
MT1 ООП mixer section, and thus the level of the output
signal appearing at the STEREO OUT jacks. The MAS­
TER fader also affects recording level when any of the
mixer section’s channels are assigned to the recorder’s
tracks via the PAN controls (see “SETTING RECORDING
LEVELS” on page 13).
©LED Peak Meters
The four LED peak meters accurately display output levels
from the MTIOOH’s four recorder tracks when the METER
switch is set to “4 TRACK”, or meters 1 and 2 display the
level of signals appearing at thè mixer section’s stereo
outputs (the STEREO OUT jacks) when the METER
switch is set to “STEREO.”
The LED peak meters are a guide for setting up the opti­
mum recording levels, (see "SETTING RECORDING LEV­
ELS” on page 13).
©METER Switch
When the METER switch is set to “STEREO,” meters 1
and 2 display the level of signals appearing at the mixer
section’s stereo outputs (the STEREO OUT jacks). When
set to “4 TRACK,” the four LED peak meters display the
level of the corresponding recorder track signals.
©dbx ON/OFF Switch
The dbx switch determines whether the МТЮОП’s internal
dbx noise reduction system is ON or OFF. For normal
recording and playback using the MT1 ООП , the dbx switch
should be turned ON. This provides a significantly im­
proved signal-to-noise ratio (as much as 85 dB) so your
recordings will sound cleaner and have much less tape
hiss.
For dbx noise reduction to be effective, it must be turned
ON both during recording and playback.
The dbx switch may be turned OFF when playing back
tapes that were recorded on other equipment and which
are not dbx-encoded.
©ZERO STOP Switch
When the transport is in rewind, the ZERO STOP function
automatically stops the tape at a specified location.
To set the ZERO STOP point, play the tape to the desired
location and reset the tape counter to ZERO by pressing
the counter reset button. In rewind, with the ZERO STOP
switch “ON”, the transport will stop when the tape counter
reaches 999. This is particularly handy in the multitrack
“overdub” process when it is necessary to repeatedly re­
wind the tape and play from the same point.
