Recording Using the Microphone/Line Input
23
To check the input level from the microphone or Line Input:
1. If you are using a mic and have connected the Lambda Studio™ to some moni-
tors, turn them down or off to avoid feedback.
2. If you want to hear the audio source in headphones, turn up the Lambda Studio
Output Level knob and turn the Monitor Mix knob counter-clockwise
(towards the Direct side), then press the Monitor Assign button between Mic
1 and Mic 2 or Line 1 and Line 2 so it is in the Mono position. This will
let you hear output on both sides of your headphones when recording only one
microphone or line level source.

3. Speak or sing into the microphone or play the line level source while gradually
increasing the gain by turning up the Mic 1 or Line 1 knob. It's OK to see the
Peak LED light next to the Mic 1 or Line 1 knob occasionally. Check the Input
Bargraph Meter on the front of the Lambda Studio to make sure you are not
clipping the A/D converters (although it's OK to light the -6 LED occasionally).
