Usually the 2-Track monitor secction will be used to mix the
outputs (fed to the multi-track recorder) in the controlroom
as a basic "control room mix". When the "Tape" switches are
depressed you will be listening to the same exact levels and mix
as previously was set up for the control room mix, during recording.
(This assumes that the inputs and outputs of the multi-track recorder
have been properly calibrated and adjusted.) The line inputs of channels
#9 through #16 are free to accept any high level input signal and will
even accept direct inputs from guitar or bass.
* When the Mic/Line switch is selected to the "Line" position, the
output of your multi-track recorder (Inputs channels #1 through #8) will be
directed to the input of the channel. This allows you to go into a "Mixdown" mode,
adding equalization and additional effects to each of your previously recorded
tracks and subsequently route them directly to the 2-TRK Master outputs feeding
your (2)-Track recorder.

When routing signals through input channels #1 through
#8 for mixdown you will probably want to depress the
(L-R) "Left/Right " assignment switch to bypass the
subgroup output section of the console. Bypassing the
sub-group output section of the console and directly
routing the signals to the (2) Track provides the most
direct electrical path and the least possible noise. It also
makes the conversion to a "Mixdown Mode" extremely
easy.

* The input gain control is very important for establishing the best
signal-to-noise ratio performance of the console. This simply means that proper
adjustment of this control will offer the lowest possible "hiss" or background
electronic noise. The best way to use this control is to rotate it fully clockwise to
the position marked as "10". This affords the maximum gain for the input. If the
signal is too strong from either your microphone or line input the red "Peak" LED
indicator just above the channel fader will light. This LED indicator will indicate a
strong red light for a short period of time whenever the signal is too strong.
Rotating the "Gain" control (One click at a time) counter-clockwise until the LED
"Peak" indicator light just goes out will properly attenuate the signal, delivering
just the right level to the channel. Rotating the "Gain" control edcessively
counter-clockwise beyond the point at which the peak LED goes out will drop the
signal too much and you may not have enough gain. This usually results in
having to set the volume controls much higher making the floor noise of (hiss)
level more apparant.
The best rule of thumb is to rotate the "Gain" control all the way to "10" and
look to see if the peak LED is lighting while the source is active. If it is not, then
no further adjustment is needed, However, if it is, then you should rotate hte
control counter-clockwise until the peak LED just goes out. Once this adjustment
