Setting the recording level correctly is essential if
you want to make top-quality recordings. If the level
is too low, the recording will be noisy. If the level is
set too high, the recording will be distorted.
Generally speaking, the recording level should be
set so that the loudest signals to be recorded make
the meters indicate about 0 dB. If the meters peak
over the 0 dB point, the REC LEVEL control should
be turned counterclockwise a little. However, some
program material or different tape formulations (i.e.,
metal tape) may warrant higher recording levels.
With a little time and practice you will be able to
select that critical recording level that gives you the
best hi-fi recordings. The type and condition of the
tape, as well as the type of music source you are
recording will affect the optimum settings of the
recording level.
