Input Channel Link - Fostex PD606 Owner's Manual

Chapter 5: Recording/Playback
By default, each signal adjusted by the [GAIN] control is directly sent to the corre-
<Note>:
sponding track. If you set the "Disk Feed" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode to
"Post", each signal adjusted by the [GAIN] control is sent to the corresponding track after
being controlled by the [SEND LEVEL] control (see page 169).
<Input channel link>
While pressing and holding down the [SHIFT] key, pressing any [PAN] key(s) links the corre-
sponding channel(s). The [LINK.] indicator of the linked channel is lit.
You can control the master gain of the linked channels using the [MENU] dial. To unlink the
linked channel, press the [PAN] key of the desired channel while holding down the [SHIFT] key.
SHIFT
If you rotate the [MENU] dial while more than one channel is linked, the display shows the
popup screen below and you can control the master gain using the [MENU] dial. The master
gain can be changed from "-20.0dB" to "0.0dB" in 0.5dB steps. Rotating the [MENU] dial
clockwise increases the gain, while rotating it counterclockwise reduces the gain.
<Notes>
• Adjust the recording level appropriately so that the level meter does not exceed "0 dB" but
goes up near to the "0 dB" at the loudest part of the signal.
The reference level is set to "-20 dB" by default. This means a +4 dBu signal indicates 20 dB
down from the 24-bit full-scale level (0 dB) on the level meter.
• You can set to generate the error tone when the input amplifier clips using the "Error tone"
menu item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 165).
