Press the SELECT buttons for TRACK 1 to 3 to select the track to be set and then use the PAN knob to set its stereo position. When you raise the fader for TRACK 3, the STEREO fader and the MONITOR LEVEL knob, you can hear the sound of the mic input through the headphones. NOTE If the OL indicator continues to light even when the TRIM knob is turned down, the mic signal itself is too loud. In this case, move the mic further away from the sound source or lower the volume of the sound source. 6.
