  • Page 36: Input Gain

    The 788T is equipped with 16 Input Limiters, a pre-fade and a post-fade limiter for each input. Limit- ing is applied only at the stage of the signal path where the level exceeds the set Limiter Threshold.
  • Page 37 The Input Activity LEDs illuminate yellow when an input is being limited at either stage. When a fader accessory is connected, the 788T will indicate pre-fade limiting and the fader accessory will indicate post-fade limiting. The Input Limiters are active for both mic- and line-level inputs.
  • Page 38: Analog Inputs

    788T/788T-SSD User Guide and Technical Information Analog Inputs Analog inputs 1-4 on XLR connectors and analog inputs 5-8 on TA3 connectors, are the primary con- nections into the recorder. These inputs accept balanced or unbalanced mic- or line-level inputs. Gain is controlled by the front panel Input Gain Pots.
  • Page 39: Digital Inputs

    To use a digital input, the Input Type switch located in an input’s Input Settings Window must be set to Digital. Although a digital input signal contains a pair of inputs, the 788T is able to select just one of the pair as an input, so for example, it is possible to select line or mic for Input 1 and digital for Input 2.
  • Page 40: Deactivate Inputs

    Input Settings Window. Outputs – Analog and Digital The 788T has six analog and six digital outputs.
