Overview of settings
Make various settings as necessary according to the connected equipment.
The following settings can all be made using the TASCAM IO CONTROL application. In addition, when used together with a Sonicview,
various settings can be made from the Sonicview. See "Using as a Sonicview extension" on page 12 for details.
Setting mic/line inputs
Mic and line input settings can be made.
Gain, pad and trim settings can also be made in these input settings.
Setting phantom power
Phantom power can be turned on when an external mic that requires it is connected to the unit.
This can be turned on/off independently for each channel.
ATTENTION
i Before connecting condenser mics, turn this unit and all equipment to be connected off (standby).
i Do not connect or disconnect mics while phantom power is on. Doing so could cause a loud noise and might damage this unit and
connected equipment.
i Turn phantom power ON only when using a condenser microphone that requires phantom power. Turning phantom power on when
a dynamic mic or other mic that does not require it is connected could damage this unit and connected equipment.
i Supplying phantom power to some ribbon mics could break them. If unsure about a ribbon mic, confirm with the mic manufacturer
or do not supply phantom power to it.
Setting the reference level
You can set the analog input and output headroom (difference between the maximum and reference levels).
