    Microphone Input When connecting a microphone to the M4, start with the gain set to a minimum value and gradually increase until the sound source is just tickling 0dB on the meters when the source sound is at average output level.
  • Page 9: Phase Reverse

    Phase Reverse The phase reverse switch, located to the bottom left of the gain control and labeled 'PHASE', is used to invert the phase of the input signal. It is active on both mic and line inputs. This function could be required when processing a signal that is out of phase with other signals in a mix, in which case the resultant phase error typically appears as a loss of low frequency content, due to cancellation of out of phase components.

    By making frequent comparisons you can make sure you do not stray from the required sound. It is also worth spending some time getting used to the EQ on the M4 - it sounds great and you'll be amazed how versatile and musical it can be.
  • Page 11: Pan Control

    Pan Control The pan control positions the image within the stereo field, from fully left in the anticlockwise position, through centre at the dented position to fully right in the clockwise position. The gain law is -3dB at the centre. Mute Switch The channel may be muted or switched on without affecting the level set on the channel fader.

    Digital Output Option The optional DO8 card can be fitted to the back of the M4 and each card provides 8 channels over ADAT lightpipe. This professional protocol makes for easy connection when conducting computer based recording, and makes the M4 the perfect front-end solution for digital recording set ups.
