frequency information, such as cymbals, which should be recorded at -10 or -15
VU to prevent unwanted peaks which the meters won't indicate.
6) Be sure that the SUB ASSIGN switch (the one above the SUB MASTER Fader)
is in the "Off" position. Otherwise, the signal will be assigned twice to the
Master buss and may cause the signal to be too loud in the Monitor Mix.
7) To monitor (listen to) the track through the Multitrack Tape Deck, place the
desired track of the tape machine into "source" or "input" and raise the Channel
Fader of the 1622 MIXER where the tape return from the Multitrack is
connected; i.e Track 1 to Channel 9, Track 2 to Channel 10, etc. (See Section
2, INTERFACING, and HOW TO ADJUST LEVELS).

2 OR MORE SOURCES TO 2 TRACKS

1) With microphones or instruments connected to the input channels, set the input
levels correctly.
LEVELS.
2) Assign the channels to a SUB MASTER by switching the SUB switch to the
"On" position on the desired channel.
3) Since the tracks are to be recorded in stereo (you will have to record
simultaneously on 2 tracks of the tape recorder), pan SUBMASTER 1 hard left,
pan SUMBASTER 2 hard right, then pan the channels to the desired position in
the stereo spectrum using the channel pan controls.
4) Connect the output of the SUB MASTERS of the 1622 MIXER to the inputs of
the 2 tracks to be recorded on the Multitrack Tape Deck.
5) The SUB MASTER Faders will now control the level going to tape.
cleanest recording, the SUB MASTER Faders should be adjusted so that the
level going to tape should reach 0 VU on peaks on the meters of the Multitrack
Tape Deck. The exception to this would be for percussive instruments with lots
of high frequency information, such as cymbals, which should be recorded at -
10 or -15 VU to prevent unwanted peaks which the meters won't indicate.

is in the "Off" position. Otherwise, the signal will be assigned twice to the
Master buss and may cause the signal to be too loud in the Monitor Mix.

playback.
CAUTION
: BE SURE OF THE FOLLOWING WHEN RECORDING!
A) Be sure that the SUB ASSIGN is NOT switched to the "On" position on the
Tape Return Channels. This will cause feedback to occur.
B) Be sure that the MASTER ASSIGN is NOT switched to the "On" position on
the Input Channels. This will cause the monitoring to be false since the
signal will be heard from two sources; the Input Channels and the Tape
Return Channels.
