ANALOGUE AUDIO INPUTS Two parallel pairs of stereo balanced connectors are provided
for connection of sound sources (wired in accordance with
American standards - 1-shield, 2-cold, 3-hot), and the other
pair is a pair of balanced jack connectors using stereo jack
sockets. Unbalanced sources can, of course, be connected
to the XLR inputs. If a mono source is used for sampling, use
only either the LEFT (MONO) XLR or phone connector.
NOTE: The XLR connector and phone jack on the analogue inputs are connected in parallel.
When inputting an analogue signal, use only one pair of them.
Associated with the analogue inputs is a 3-position slider
switch (LOW, MID, HIGH) used for matching the level of the
input source to the recording amplifier of the S3200XL. Fine
adjustment should be carried out with the REC LEVEL control
on the front panel. Ideally, you should set the REC GAIN so
that the REC LEVEL is set about 2 o’clock. Remember that
unlike analogue equipment, digital devices produce distortion
which is particularly unpleasant, and “soft clipping” and the
effect of saturation found in analogue recordings cannot be
obtained when recording digitally. You should always allow
sufficient headroom for transient peaks when making a
sample.
Note also, that recording at too low a level will not allow you to
make full use of the S3200XL’s dynamic range and signal to
noise figures.
NOTE 1: When making a sample, you may not immediately notice any clipping that may have
resulted from incorrect level settings and it may only become apparent when playing back
samples lower than the original pitch at which they were sampled.
