The gain is adjusted by rotating the
Gain of "MIC" is obtained at full CW rotation of the
Ideal gain is obtained by setting the level meter reading such that the "+6" LED does not light up. Should the "+6" LED lights up frequently, it is an indication that gain is too high and will result in distortion if recording is continued in this manner.
Basically, the knob should be adjusted toward "MIC" when a low level sound source such as a mic is connected, and toward "LINE" when connecting the output of an effects unit to which a keyboard or electric base is connected.
