6 - Basic Recording 2 Press F4 (ON) to turn phantom power ON. The indicator above the PHANTOM key lights, and the Home Screen reopens. To turn phantom power OFF, press the F1 (OFF) key in the previous step. CAUTION • Turn the LEVEL knobs down before turning phantom power ON or OFF. Depending on the mic, a loud noise could occur, damaging equipment and harming people's hearing. • Do not connect or disconnect a mic when phantom power is ON. This could cause a loud noise and damage equipment. • Turn phantom power ON only when using a condenser microphone that requires phantom power. • Do not supply phantom power to an unbalanced dynamic microphone. Doing so could break it. • Supplying phantom power to some types of ribbon microphones could break them. Do not supply phantom power to a ribbon microphone if you are in doubt. • Battery consumption is faster when phantom power is ON. Monitoring input signals To monitor an input signal press the REC key for the TRACK set to record that signal. This will light/blink its REC indicator. NOTE When the unit is playing back, both the playback signal and the input source signals are mixed and output through the PHONES and LINE OUT jacks and can be heard with connected headphones and monitoring systems. 42 TASCAM DP-008 About the OL indicators and level meters The audio levels of this unit can be checked using the INPUT A/B OL indicators and the level meters on the Home Screen. The meters allow the signal levels to be checked, and they can also be used to confirm whether signals are being input into the unit. For example, if the input meters are moving a signal is being input into the unit even if you cannot hear anything when you are monitoring. As shown below, if a "-" appears at the top of a meter, the level is too high (when a "-" appears, it will stay on screen for a while before automatically disappearing). If the level is too high and a "-" appears, the sound might be distorted, so lower the level until a "-" stops appearing. If an OL indicator lights, the signal from the input source could be too loud or the TRIM knob too high. If the OL indicator lights even though the TRIM knob is set to the minimum position, the input source signal is too strong. Change the INPUT SETTING or lower the volume on the input source. Overload warning bar Input level meters (A, B) The two meters on the left side of this unit show the input levels of the INPUT A and INPUT B. Use the INPUT A and INPUT B TRIM knobs, the INPUT SETTING and the output volume of the input source to adjust the level. Track level meters (1-8) These meters show either the playback signal level or the input signal level for each track. The signal levels shown by the track meters

About the OL indicators and
level meters
The audio levels of this unit can be checked
using the
INPUT A/B
OL
indicators and the
level meters on the Home Screen.
The meters allow the signal levels to be
checked, and they can also be used to confirm
whether signals are being input into the unit.
For example, if the input meters are moving
a signal is being input into the unit even
if you cannot hear anything when you are
monitoring.
As shown below, if a “–” appears at the top
of a meter, the level is too high (when a “–”
appears, it will stay on screen for a while
before automatically disappearing). If the level
is too high and a “–” appears, the sound might
be distorted, so lower the level until a “–”
stops appearing.
If an
OL
indicator lights, the signal from the
input source could be too loud or the
TRIM
knob too high.
If the
OL
indicator lights even though the
TRIM
knob is set to the minimum position, the
input source signal is too strong. Change the
INPUT SETTING
or lower the volume on the
input source.
