What You Need To Make Recordings; Connecting The Mf-P01 - Tascam Portastudio MF-P01 Owner's Manual

An introduction to the MF-P01

What you need to make recordings

Apart from the MF-P01 itself, you will need:
• Some kind of stereo master recorder (such as a
cassette or MD recorder) to produce the stereo
recordings.
• You will also need RCA (pin or phono) cables to
connect the MF-P01 to other equipment.
• Some monitoring equipment (some kind of
amplifier and speaker system).
• Headphones, if you intend doing any work with
microphones. These will avoid acoustic feedback
("howl-round") when recording. Additionally,
headphones are sometimes useful when panning
tracks on mixdown, as you can hear the precise
position of each track.
• Of course, you will also need some kind of sound
source to record (instrument or microphone, etc.).

Connecting the MF-P01

1) Make sure all the equipment is turned off.
2) Connect the LINE OUT terminals of the MF-
P01 to the amplifier, using a pair of terminals
on the amplifier such as AUX, TUNER or
TAPE.
NOTE
Do not use any terminals marked PHONO or
intended for record players (turntables). These are
connected to a special circuit inside the amplifier
which makes them unsuitable for anything except
record players.
3) Connect your master recorder to a set of four
TAPE terminals on the amplifier (two for REC
and two for PLAY).
You can listen to the MF-P01 by selecting the
amplifier's input source to be the terminals to which
you connected the MF-P01.
When you have mixed down and you want to listen to
the mixed tape, you should select the master recorder
as the amplifier's input source.
