Let’s try the 424 MKIII mixer
To learn how the mixer works, first you need to plug a signal source
into one of the 1-8 jacks located at upper top of the unit, in your easy
reach.
As an example, we'll use a microphone as the source.
1. Have to hand a dynamic microphone and a set of stereo
headphones.
2. Plug the 1/4" plug on your microphone cable into the leftmost
MIC/LINE IN jack for channel 1.
3. Turn the 424 MKIII on. The TASCAM logo appears in the display.
(The POWER switch is located on the back, beside the power
cable.)
4. Plug your headphones into the front PHONES jack, so you can
hear the input signal going to the mixer section of the 424 MKIII.
5. Set the channel 1 INPUT select switch to the left (MIC/LINE)
position.

Notes to be read prior to making connections
■ Although both XLR-type and 1/4" phone jacks are provided
for connection to each of channels 1-4, don't use both jacks
on the same channel at the same time.
■ Turn all the TRIM and other level controls all the way to the
left.
■ Turn the EQ controls to their center "flat" position; bring all
the faders down; and set all the switches to OFF.
