Chapter 4: Basic connections
Analog audio input connection
The PD606 provides six analog mic/line input channels (channels 1 through 6).
The balanced XLR-3-31 type connector on each channel accepts a wide range of
audio signal level from mic to line.
Each channel provides the input selector (LINE or MIC), power supply for micro-
phone, limiter circuit and HPF (high pass filter). The power supply for microphone
supports both phantom power (P48) and A-B power (T12) which allows the PD606
to accept various condenser microphones.
The limiter threshold and ratio can be adjusted using the "Limiter parameter" item
in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 159).
As for the HPF, you can adjust the cutoff frequency and select the slope curve.
To record an analog audio signal, follow the procedure below (for details, see "Chapter
5: Recording/Playback").
