Model X-34 Owner’s Manual

<Using both MIC IN jack and LINE IN/INSERT jack>

Keep the following information about the MIC IN and LINE IN/INSERT jacks in mind when recording sound sources using both types of input jacks.

The front panel LINE IN/INSERT jack has priority. For example, if you attempt to input different sound sources (Sound source A, Sound source B) simultaneously from the front panel LINE IN/INSERT jack 1 and the rear panel MIC IN jack 1/3, priority will be given to the LINE IN/INSERT jack 1 to send the signal to channel 1, and the signal from the MIC IN jack 1/3 will be sent to only channel 3.

Since Sound source A is routed to channel 1 and Sound source B is routed to channel 3, selecting a recording track using the corresponding REC TRK switches enables you to record Sound sources A and B simultaneously. The same applies to LINE IN/INSERT jack 3 and MIC IN jack 1/3.

Sound source B will be recorded to a track selected by the REC TRK switch on channel 3.

Sound source A will be recorded to a track selected by the REC TRK switch on channel 1.
