Call the METER screen Input/RTN page by
either pressing the Display section
[METER] key as many times as necessary,
or by pressing the [F1] key after pressing
the [METER] key.
The input channel input levels are displayed at the top
of this screen.
5
Move the cursor to the POST FADER button
in the lower area of the screen and press
the [ENTER] key.
When the POST FADER button is turned on the signal
levels immediately following the fader are displayed
on the meters.
6
Press the Layer section [IN 1-8] so that it’s
indicator lights to switch to the IN 1-8 mix-
ing layer.
You can now use [ON] keys 1–8, [SEL] keys 1–8, and
faders 1–8 to operate input channels 1–8.
7
Make sure that the [ON] key for the channel
receiving the microphone or instrument
signal is engaged and its indicator is lit,
then raise the channel fader to the 0dB
position.
If you play the instrument or
play into the microphone you
should see the level meter on
the display respond accord-
ingly, but you won’t hear any
output from your monitor sys-
tem yet because the [STE-
REO] fader is still all the way
down.
8
While playing the connected instrument,
raise the [STEREO] fader to the 0 dB posi-
tion.
With the initial default settings the
input channels are patched to the
AW2400’s stereo bus. Signals sent to
the stereo bus are output via the
[STEREO OUT], [MONITOR
OUT], and [OMNI OUT] jacks after
being adjusted by the [STEREO]
fader. When the [STEREO] fader is
raised the level of the stereo bus sig-
nal will be displayed on the Display
section stereo meter. You can now
rotate the [MONITOR] or
[PHONES] knob clockwise to hear
sound from your monitor system or
headphones.
That completes the initial setup and level adjustment pro-
cedure required to begin recording on the AW2400. Levels
will have to be readjusted whenever you change the
microphone or instrument input connections or change the
output level of an instrument (level changes will often
occur when you change synth patches).
By using the [GAIN] knob to raise the level as far as pos-
sible without allowing distortion to occur, you can ensure
that the input signal is converted into digital form with the
highest possible quality before it is input to the mixer sec-
tion.
Input channel input level display
• With the initial default settings the signals from [MIC/LINE
INPUT] jacks 1–8 are assigned to the corresponding input
channels 1–8. You can change these settings as required.
Refer to “Direct recording and Mixed recording” on page 49
for details.
HINT
• If the level meter goes into the “OVER” region, check that the
corresponding input fader is set to 0dB and reduce the level of
the [GAIN] knob.
HINT
• If the stereo meter does not respond even though the input
channel level meter is showing the presence of a signal when
the [STEREO] fader is raised, check that the input channel is
patched to the stereo bus (

p. 105).
