1 [INPUT 1], [INPUT 2] jacks
Use these jacks to input mic/line signals (such as from a
keyboard).
You can use either XLR jacks or TRS phone jacks, and
both sets of jacks are balanced.
Unbalanced phone plugs can also be connected.
The XLR jacks can supply +48 V phantom power to con-
denser mics.
If you connect a plug to the phone jack, no signal can be
input from the corresponding XLR jack. If you want to
use the XLR jack, disconnect any plug from the corre-
sponding phone jack.
If you connect a plug to the [GUITAR IN] jack, no signal
can be input from the [INPUT 1] jack. If you want to in-
put a signal from the [INPUT 1] jack, disconnect any
plug from the [GUITAR IN] jack.
These TRS phone jacks do not individually allow stereo
input.
2 [INPUT 3], [INPUT 4] jacks
Use these jacks to input mic/line signals (such as from a
keyboard).
These are balanced TRS phone jacks. Unbalanced phone
plugs can also be connected.
These TRS phone jacks do not individually allow stereo
input.
3 [TRIM] knob: –60...–10....+4 dBu
These knobs adjust the input level. Input level calibra-
tion marks are printed on the panel. Adjust the [TRIM]
knobs so that the peak indicators (the LEDs near each
knob) light when the input level of the connected instru-
ment or device is loudest.

Although the input level will depend on the device or
performance, here are some guidelines for setting these
knobs.
If nothing is connected, you may hear hum or noise
when you raise the [TRIM] knobs.
4 [FOOT SW] jack
A foot switch connected to this jack can be used to oper-
ate basic recorder functions when your hands are occu-
pied by playing an instrument.
You can use a foot switch to control play/stop, to start/
stop manual punch-recording, to register a mark, or to
record tap tempo. ( p.101)
Connect a PS-1 foot switch (sold separately) to this jack.
5 [EXPRESSION PEDAL] jack
A pedal connected to this jack can be used to control a
specified parameter of an insert effect. This lets you con-
trol an effect in realtime while you perform or record.
( p.44)
Connect an EXP-2 or XVP-10 expression pedal (sold sep-
arately) to this jack.
6 [AUX OUT] jack
This outputs the external send audio signal from each
mixer channel. (The send amount is adjusted in the
[MASTER EFFECT/AUX SEND] "AuxSnd" tab page.)
Connect this jack to an external effect processor.
This is a phone jack.
