Input Meter Level
If your digital audio workstation or recording software has input meters, adjust the microphone level so it peaks between -12 and -6 dB. Otherwise, simply listen
to the audio to make sure it is loud enough and not distorting.
Monitoring with the MOTIV Device
The headphone output provides an equal blend of the direct microphone
signal and audio playback from the computer. This allows you to conveniently
adjust the overall headphone volume with one control on the device touch
panel. To change the playback audio level relative to the direct microphone
signal level, adjust the computer or DAW mixer settings.

audio signal. Then adjust headphone level on the device for comfortable
monitoring.
