o When recording a mic, we recommend using headphones
for monitoring to prevent feedback.* If monitoring with
speakers, be sure to lower their output volume and keep the
mic away from them to prevent feedback.
*Feedback explanation
Feedback is when sound output from a speaker is picked up
by a mic and returned causing oscillation. This could cause
very loud noise that could even damage speakers.
o Silences can also be created (page 20) when recording
with mic input.
o When recording a mix of the line input sound and mic
input, the REC LEVEL (recording level) knob can be used to
adjust the volume after mixing.

to ensure enough headroom when the tape playback and

lowered slightly if a mic is connected to the MIC connector
on the front of the unit. When the mic is disconnected, the
playback level will return to normal.
