UTILITIES
MASTER LEVEL
NOTE REGARDING MASTER LEVEL: The default setting for this parameter is -12dB, the
reason being that, unlike DAT or other stereo digital recorders which record at 0dB and playback
at 0dB, the S6000 records at 0dB but has to play many voices simultaneously (the other
recorders only need to play exactly what they recorded). Each voice you play adds extra gain
to the output so, if you were to set 0dB and play many voices, you would get distortion. By
setting it to -12dB, you have 12dB of headroom before clipping will occur.
However, if you are only recording and playing back a stereo recording on its own (for example,
mastering a track down to stereo using the disk recording functions), you would be advised to
set the MASTER LEVEL parameter to 0dB so that you put out the same level as you recorded.
SYSTEM SCSI ID
NOTE: It is vital that the SCSI ID set here does not conflict with any other devices on the SCSI
bus or unreliable operation may occur.
