@AUX SEND Controls

The AUX SEND controls are used primarily when add

ing effects such as reverberation or echo to the sound

of a channel or track. The AUX SEND control on each

mixer channel determines the amount of signal from

that channel sent to the AUX SEND jack. The AUX

SEND jack must be connected to the input of an exter

nal signal processor such as the YAMAHA EMP100

Multi-effect Processor (see “USING THE AUX SEND/

RETURN LOOP” on page 22).

O AUX RETURN Control

The AUX RETURN control determines the level at which

the signal from an external signal processor is re

turned and mixed in with the MT120S’s main stereo

output signal. The output from an external signal proc

essor fed by the AUX SEND jack must be connected to

the AUX RETURN jack(s) (see “USING THE AUX SEND/

RETURN LOOP” on page 22).

©MONITOR SELECT Switch

MONITOR: This position is selected to listen to the

four tape tracks. In this position a mix from the

four MONITOR controls is sent to the PHONES

jack and the MONITOR OUT jack.

MIX: This position is selected to hear a combination of

the four tape tracks and input sources connected

to the input jacks. The mix from the MONITOR

controls is combined with the stereo output from

the mixer section and sent to the PHONES jack

and MONITOR OUT jack.

STEREO: This position is selected to monitor the stereo

output from the mixer section. In this position, the

mix sent to the MONITOR OUT jack and PHONES

jack is the same mix that is sent to the STEREO

OUT jacks.

©MONITOR Controls 1 — 4

The four MONITOR controls determine the level of the

signal from the corresponding recorder tracks which is

sent to the PHONES jack and MONITOR OUT jacks

when the MONITOR SELECT switch is set to either

“MONITOR” or “MIX.” The MONITOR controls are pri

marily used to set up the optimum levels for monitoring

recorded tracks while recording new material

(overdubbing).

©MONITOR/PHONES Control

This control is used to set headphone and control room

listening level. It adjusts the level of signal sent to the

PHONES jack and MONITOR OUT jacks with out af

fecting the signal level appearing at the STEREO OUT

jacks.

6 MT120S MULTITRACK CASSETTE RECORDER

©MASTER Fader

The MASTER fader sets the overall output level of the

MT120S mixer section, and thus the level of the output

signal appearing at the STEREO OUT jacks. The MAS

TER fader also affects recording level when any of the

mixer section’s channels are assigned to the record

er’s tracks via the PAN controls (see “SETTING RE

CORDING LEVELS” on page 15).

The four LED peak meters accurately display output

levels from the MT120S’s four recorder tracks when

the METER switch is set to “4TR”, or meters 1 and 2

display the level of signals appearing at the mixer

section’s stereo outputs (the STEREO OUT jacks) when

the METER switch is set to “ST.”

The LED peak meters are a guide for setting up the^

optimum recording levels, (see “SETTING RECORD-w

ING LEVELS” on page 15).

©METER Switch

When the METER switch is set to “ST,” meters 1 and 2

dispiay the ievel of signals appearing at the mixer

section’s stereo outputs (the STEREO OUT jacks). When

set to “4TR,” the four LED peak meters dispiay the

ievei of the corresponding recorder track signais.

® dbx ON/OFF Switch

The dbx switch determines whether the MT120S ’s

internal dbx noise reduction system is ON or OFF. For

normai recording and playback using the MT120S, the

dbx switch should be turned ON. This provides a sig

nificantly improved signal-to-noise ratio (as much as

85 dB) so your recordings wili sound cleaner and have

much less tape hiss.

If dbx noise reduction is to be activated during synchro-^

recording, set the switch to “SYNC”.

For dbx noise reduction to be effective, it must be

turned ON both during recording and playback.

The dbx switch may be turned OFF when playing back

tapes that were recorded on other equipment and which

are not dbx-encoded.

------

“For Error-free SYNC Recording" —

---

• When recording the FSK signal, set the Track 4 re

cording level between 0 and +3dB.

• For recording and playback of the FSK signal on

Track 4, set the dbx switch to the “SYNC" position.

* When the dbx switch is set to "SYNC”, Tracks 1 to

3 are set to dbx ON.

• Do not record signals (music, etc.) other than the

FSK signal on Track 4, when the dbx switch is set to

the "SYNC" position.

• If other signals (music, etc.) are recorded during re

cording of the FSK signal, avoid using adjacent tracks,

if possible.
