Mic Input
The microphone input is not represented in the mixer as it is just used for
sample recording with no pass through, although audio monitoring does
exist in the sample recorder. The input is a mono audio input connected by
the 3.5mm mic in. A few things should be considered when using a mic.
• Tracker does not supply 48V Phantom power normally used for
condenser microphones. Dynamic mics are therefore advised.
• The Mic selection input is in the sample recorder. Two options exist,
Mic LG (Low Gain) and Mic HG (High Gain). The selection will
depend on the microphone being used. Microphones with a strong
driver on the input may need a lower gain setting to avoid clipping.
Microphones with a weaker driver on the audio may need a high
gain setting to ensure a better dynamic range.
• The microphone may use a stereo TRS or Mono TR connection,
however recording from a microphone will always be in mono.
• Recording with a microphone follows similar principles to line-in. The
gain may need more pre-adjustment before recording due to the
nature or microphones and recording.
