Front panel

switch
1
Press to turn the unit on and to put it into standby.
2 1-2 input jacks
These analog inputs are XLR/TRS combo jacks.
They can support high impedance input, including direct
guitar input.
o XLR (1: GND, 2: HOT, 3: COLD)
o TRS (Tip: HOT, Ring: COLD, Sleeve: GND)
Use the input switches (6) to select balanced line (MIC/LINE)
or high-impedance (INST) input for the TRS jacks.
When directly connecting a guitar, bass or other high-
impedance output, set the input switch (6) to INST.
Use the GAIN knobs (1–2) to set input gains.
3 GAIN knobs
Use GAIN knobs 1–8 to adjust the input gain of each channel
independently.
4 +48V indicators
These indicators light when their input switches (6) are set
to +48V.
5 Level meter area
This shows input signal levels.
6 Input switches
Set according to the input sources of input jacks 1–2.
INST: Select when directly connecting a guitar, bass or
other high-impedance instrument. This makes it an
unbalanced input for high impedance.
MIC/LINE: Select when connecting a balanced-output mic or
line-level-output device.
+48V: This provides +48V phantom power to the 1-2 XLR
input jacks.
ATTENTION
i Do not connect or disconnect mics when these switches are
set to +48V.
i Do not supply phantom power to an unbalanced dynamic
mic.
i Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics will break
them. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a
ribbon mic.
7 COMP knobs
Use these knobs to adjust the threshold levels, which are the
levels when compression begins to be applied to the signals
input to each channel.
8 +48V switch/indicator
Use these switches to supply +48V phantom power to the
MIC/LINE INPUT 3-8 jacks on the back of the unit.
Phantom power can be set for each input channel
independently.
When the +48V switch is on, it lights and provides +48V
phantom power to the XLR connector of the input jack.
ATTENTION
i Do not connect or disconnect mics when a switch is on.
i Do not supply phantom power to an unbalanced dynamic
mic.
i Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics could break
them. If you are unsure, do not supply phantom power to a
ribbon mic.
9 Sample clock switch
Set the sample clock source to the unit's internal clock, and
set the sampling frequency. (see "Switching the sample clock"
on page 12)
The sample clock indicators (e) light according to the
currently active sampling frequency being used by the unit
