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 corre-
sponding 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.
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).
To connect devices to INPUT 1 & 2, set the [(HI-Z)/LINE/MIC] switch to a setting that is appro-
priate for the connected devices (page 8).
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 instru-
ments 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.
