Inputs
Each channel has an A and B input. See “Channel Patch Points” on page 75 to learn how to assign sources for these inputs. The Inpt
knob (bottom) can feed A, B, or A+B to the channel. These two inputs can be used in many clever ways, but a common application
is one mic and one line. Another common use is for monitor inputs: Channel 1A is from the Group 1 Bus output, while 1B is from
the recorder’s track 1 output. The A/B source switch then acts as a bus/tape switch.
1 Press the Input function key to display the input controls on the knobset (see figure below).
2 Press the key to display the B input page with the same controls as the A input.
3 Press the key again to display the Signal Processing In/Out page.
Atrm and Aphs have corresponding controls for the B input; Dly and Inp adjust one parameter that applies to both inputs.
