Adjusting input levels

Before starting recording, the input levels must be
adjusted to suitable levels in order to prevent distortion
of input signals that are too loud and to prevent input
signals from being so quiet that they are masked by
noise.
8 Setting suitable input levels
Set the INPUT LEVEL selection switch to STEREO.
While watching the level meters, use the input level
knob to adjust the input level to around −12 dB.
Adjust the levels so they are as high as possible without
causing the PEAK level indicators to light when the
loudest sounds (peak levels) are input.
Level indicators
If the PEAK level indicators still light even when the
input levels are lowered as much as possible, set the
MIC PAD switch to ON and adjust again.
If the PEAK level indicators still light even after doing
this, try changing the distances and angles between the
microphones and the sound sources.
