Connecting your DP-01 to other equipment
14 TASCAM DP-01 Owner’s Manual
Starting out with your DP-01
The DP-01FX in-
cludes phantom-
powered XLR microphone input
connectors. See “DP-01FX Appen-
dix” on page 58 for details of us-
ing these connectors.
Microphones are connected to the front panel inputs.
Set the
GUITAR/LINE switches to LINE. Turn the input level controls so that
the
OL indicators only just light in the loudest part of the recording.
Synthesizers, etc. including drum machines, guitar amplifier simulators,
active basses, etc. as well as CD players, cassette decks, and so on can be con-
nected to the front panel input jacks using standard 1/4" mono plugs (unbal-
anced). When you are recording a stereo source, you should consider the
position of the
INPUT MODE switch (see “The INPUT MODE switch” on
page 15).
NEVER plug the
speaker outputs of
a guitar amplifier into the DP-01.
Set the GUITAR/LINE switch to LINE. Adjust the input level controls and use
the instruments’ output volume controls to adjust the level so that the
OL
indicators only just light on the very loudest passages.
Guitars and basses (passive types) are connected to the front panel
input
A using a standard 1/4" mono plug (unbalanced).
Use the built-in
tuner (on the DP-
01FX only) to tune the guitar or
bass (see “Tuning a guitar” on
page 58).
Set the GUITAR/LINE switch to GUITAR. Turn the input level control until the
OL indicators barely light on the loudest passages.
Headphones Plug a pair of standard headphones into the 1/4" stereo jack
on the front panel.
Adjust the volume with the level control to the right of the jack.
The footswitch is
useful if both
hands are busy playing a guitar,
for example.
Footswitch You can connect a standard “push-to-make” footswitch, such
as the TASCAM RC-30P to the front panel
PUNCH jack.
Use the switch to punch in and out (that is, start and stop recording on the
fly).
