Connecting instruments and making monaural settings
You will need to adjust settings for musical instruments such as high impedance guitars, line input
synthesizers, the built-in microphones and microphones that use phantom power, as well as stereo and
monaural inputs, for example.
NOTE
*Turn the [PHANTOM] switch on to provide +48V
power to INPUT 5 and 6. You can use either
INPUT 5 or 6 or both when the switch is ON.
*Use the fader that corresponds to the INPUT jack.
The signal from INPUT 1 goes to track 1/9.
*To use Track 9~16, switch the fader assignment by
pushing the [9 –16Tr] key.
*Depending on the INSERT EFFECT selection, the
output flow will change.
*Creating one stereo file from two faders requires
the use of the STEREO LINK setting.
