Nº 320S Controls & Modes

To adjust display intensity:

Press and release the front panel display intensity button or the remote control display button to cycle through the four available illumination levels.

•Front panel display characters and the front panel standby LED automatically adjust to the selected illumination level.

Polarity

Controls the polarity of the main output signal, whether that signal is using the balanced (XLR) or single-ended (RCA) main output connectors. The polarity control has no affect on the record output signal.

To adjust main output signal polarity:

Press and release the remote control polarity button.

•When main output signal polarity is non-inverted, pressing and releasing the polarity button inverts main output signal polarity. The front panel polarity LED lights red to indicate that main output signal polarity is inverted.

4-3

•When main output signal polarity is inverted, pressing and releasing the polarity button restores main output signal polarity to its non-inverted state.

Note

Experiment with main output signal polarity to determine the best sound for individual recordings. The sound difference between an inverted and non-inverted output signal ranges from subtle to inaudible, depending on microphone technique and other recording factors. In some cases, individual recordings will just sound better one way than the other.

Balance

Controls the left-to-right channel balance of the main output connectors, including the balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) main output connectors. The balance control has no affect on the record output connectors.
