Zoom FIRE-36 Operation Manual page 26

1.
With the level knobs on the rear panel turned fully down, connect the recorder, mixer, or other
external device to the RECORDING OUT jack.
For information on how to connect your instrument and how to use the front panel controls, see the FIRE-
36 manual.
* If you plug a pair of headphones into the [PHONES] jack on the front panel, the speaker is cut off and the
mics will pick up no sound and therefore deliver almost no signal.
2.
Adjust the [MASTER] knob on the FIRE-36M to obtain a suitable volume.
* If the volume setting is too high or too low, the mics will not produce a proper signal. Start with the
[MASTER] knob in the center (12 o'clock) position and make adjustments as required by the playing
environment.
* Depending on the guitar and the amplifier settings, the output from the power amplifier and speaker may
be distorted. The sound picked up by the mics may also be unpleasant in such a case, but this is not a
defect.
3.
Adjust the [LINE LEVEL], [MIC 1 LEVEL] and [MIC 2 LEVEL] knobs to obtain the desired balance
between the line signal and the mic signals.
The controls should be turned up fairly high, but not so high that clipping in the input stage of the
connected equipment occurs.
* The [MIC LEVEL] control has a wide adjustment range to allow for the considerable volume changes of
the speaker. Adjust the control frequently to match the speaker volume.
* Also make input level adjustments at the connected device, as necessary.

Troubleshooting
●
No mic signal can be heard
• Is something connected to the front panel [PHONES] jack?
• Are the [MIC 1 LEVEL] and [MIC 2 LEVEL] knobs on the rear panel turned up to an adequate position?
• The mic signal has no effect on the output from the speaker.
●
Mic signal is distorted
• Is the front panel [MASTER] knob turned up too high?
• Has the input level been adjusted properly at the connected device?
• Try adjusting the [MIC 1 LEVEL] and [MIC 2 LEVEL] knobs.
●
Other sound is heard together with the mic signal
The mics also pick up ambient sound. Perform monitoring in a quiet location.
