These jacks can be also used to return processed signals from external signal processors. • In-line configuration that allows you to control input signals and tape playback signals simultaneously. You can monitor track signals adjusted by the CUE controls, while making a recording on all four input channels. During mixdown, you can play back four-track signals via the input channels, while mixing input signals via the CUE controls. Recorder • dbx™ noise reduction system provides a signal-to-noise ratio in excess of 80 dB. • Punch in/out functions using a footswitch or the switch on the panel. • SYNC OUT outputs a sync track (Track 4) signal, providing synchronous operation between the MT400 and a MIDI sequencer. In SYNC mode, the dbx noise reduction can be turned off for Track 4, ensuring reliable synchronization. • Tape speed is switchable between 9.5 cm/second and 4.8 cm/second. The MT400 standard tape speed is 9.5 cm/second for greater sonic performance. A speed of 4.8 cm/second is the same speed as a normal cassette recorder, doubling the recording time relative to the MT400 standard speed. Pitch control enables you to fine-adjust the pitch in the range between -10% and +10%. -Owner's Manual

Welcome to the MT400
MT400 Features
The MT400 consists of three major sections: a Mixer section that enables you to mix sounds
(with eight inputs and one stereo output): a Recorder section that records and plays sound
(with four tracks and four channels): and utility sections including meters, power switch, etc.
Mixer
•
Continuously variable GAIN controls on Input Channels 1 through 4 allow the MT400 to
handle any type of input source with ease, including microphone and line-level signals such as
synthesizers.
•
Musical three-band EQ on each input channel, and INSERT I/O jacks on Input Channels 1
and 2 for external processor patching enable high-quality recording.
•
Two auxiliary sends for external reverb and other effects processor patching.
•
Two stereo input jacks for connecting a synthesizer and other line-level instruments that have
stereo outputs. These jacks can be also used to return processed signals from external signal
processors.
•
In-line configuration that allows you to control input signals and tape playback signals
simultaneously. You can monitor track signals adjusted by the CUE controls, while making a
recording on all four input channels. During mixdown, you can play back four-track signals
via the input channels, while mixing input signals via the CUE controls.
Recorder
•
dbx™ noise reduction system provides a signal-to-noise ratio in excess of 80 dB.
•
Punch in/out functions using a footswitch or the switch on the panel.
•
SYNC OUT outputs a sync track (Track 4) signal, providing synchronous operation between
the MT400 and a MIDI sequencer. In SYNC mode, the dbx noise reduction can be turned off
for Track 4, ensuring reliable synchronization.
•
Tape speed is switchable between 9.5 cm/second and 4.8 cm/second. The MT400 standard
tape speed is 9.5 cm/second for greater sonic performance. A speed of 4.8 cm/second is the
same speed as a normal cassette recorder, doubling the recording time relative to the MT400
standard speed. Pitch control enables you to fine-adjust the pitch in the range between –10%
