You can obtain a fatter sound by applying a compressor to the input signal from the microphone.

Connections
The sound of the microphone connected to INPUT 1 will be recorded in your computer on the left
(L) channel. If you connect a source to INPUT 2, it will be recorded on the right (R) channel.

Phantom power switch

If you’re using a condenser microphone, turn the phantom power switch on.
* If a device that does not use phantom power is connected, you must turn off the phantom
power switch. Failing to do so may cause malfunction.

Input sensitivity knob

Use the input sensitivity knob to adjust the input level. You can obtain the best recording quality
by turning the input sensitivity knobs as high as possible without causing the peak indicators to
light.

Compressor/limiter threshold knob

Turning this knob toward the right will apply stronger compression. This will also increase the gain
(makeup gain), so you should use the input sensitivity knob and threshold knob to adjust the input
level so that the peak indicator does not light.
* The compressor (and the limiter) does not support stereo signals. The compressor/limiter for
INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 will each operate independently.
* Turning this knob toward the right will strengthen the compressor effect, which may create the
impression that the tone is being affected. If this occurs, turn the threshold knob back toward
the left until the tonal change is not noticeable.
