Connecting Audio Inputs
This section describes the analog inputs avail-
able on Fast Track C600. For information about
connecting specific audio sources, see “Con-
necting a Microphone” on page 12, and “Con-
necting Instruments to the Fast Track C600” on
page 14.
Overview of Analog Inputs
Fast Track C600 inputs support microphones,
guitars, keyboards, and other types of instru-
ments. Fast Track C600 has four analog input
channels, labeled “1,” “2,” “3,” and “4” on the
back panel. Inputs “1” and “2” can also be ac-
cessed on the front panel when connecting in-
struments such as an electric guitar or bass (see
“Connecting Electric Guitar or Bass” on
page 14).
When recording stereo sources, use a single in-
put pair, for example Input 1 for the left input
and Input 2 for the right input.
Each input section is located so that the hard-
ware input jacks line up directly behind their
corresponding input controls on the top panel.
This makes it easier to locate channel input con-
nections from the front. Furthermore, this lay-
out results in the shortest, most direct signal
path to ensure the best possible sound quality.
