English Connecting Musical Instruments and Microphones and Adjusting the Input Level Signals input at INPUT 1-8 jacks are routed to mLAN output channels 1-8 respectively. If you have selected any pair from channels 1/2 through 7/8 for monitor output, you can monitor the corresponding input signals from MASTER L & R and MASTER PHONES (page 17). This section describes connecting musical instruments and microphones to the INPUT 1-8 jacks and adjusting the level of input signals. mLAN OUTPUTS (to DAW output) mLAN INPUTS 3-8 (from DAW output) mLAN INPUTS 1, 2 (from DAW master output) ANALOG OUTPUTS 3-8 ANALOG INPUTS 1, 2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 GAIN MONITOR SELECT MONITOR VOLUME INSERT I/O (Only Ch 1 & 2) MASTER VOLUME PHONES ANALOG OUTPUTS 1/L, 2/R 1. Turn the [MASTER VOLUME] control and the [MONITOR VOLUME] control all the way to the minimum (rotate the controls counter-clockwise until the knob will not turn further). NOTE To connect devices to INPUT 1 & 2, set the [(HI-Z)/LINE/MIC] switch to a setting that is appropriate for the connected devices (page 8). NOTE You can insert an effects processor via the INSERT I/O jacks into analog input channels 1 and 2 (INPUT 1 & 2). 2. Connect the musical instruments and microphones to the INPUT 1-8 jacks. 3. Adjust the [GAIN] control for the INPUT jacks to which you connected the musical instruments and microphones. 4. Adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control and the [MONITOR VOLUME] control. INPUT 1 & 2 jacks: In order to record at the optimal level, adjust the [GAIN] controls so that the [PEAK] indicator for each input flickers briefly when you play at your loudest level. INPUT 3 - 8 jacks Observe the input level meters of your DAW or audio sequencer while adjusting the [GAIN] controls to raise the level to a point just before the signal starts clipping. 16
