What you need to make recordings

An introduction to the MF-P01

Apart from the MF-P01 itself, you will need:

•Some kind of stereo master recorder (such as a cassette or MD recorder) to produce the stereo recordings.

•You will also need RCA (pin or phono) cables to connect the MF-P01 to other equipment.

•Some monitoring equipment (some kind of ampliﬁer and speaker system).

•Headphones, if you intend doing any work with microphones. These will avoid acoustic feedback ("howl-round") when recording. Additionally, headphones are sometimes useful when panning tracks on mixdown, as you can hear the precise position of each track.

•Of course, you will also need some kind of sound source to record (instrument or microphone, etc.).

Connecting the MF-P01

1)Make sure all the equipment is turned off.

2)Connect the LINE OUT terminals of the MF- P01 to the ampliﬁer, using a pair of terminals on the ampliﬁer such as AUX, TUNER or TAPE.

NOTE

Do not use any terminals marked PHONO or intended for record players (turntables). These are connected to a special circuit inside the ampliﬁer which makes them unsuitable for anything except record players.

3)Connect your master recorder to a set of four TAPE terminals on the ampliﬁer (two for REC and two for PLAY).

You can listen to the MF-P01 by selecting the ampliﬁer’s input source to be the terminals to which you connected the MF-P01.

When you have mixed down and you want to listen to the mixed tape, you should select the master recorder as the ampliﬁer’s input source.
