CHANNELS AND TRACKS

The terms “channel” and “track” are used in this operation manual to differentiate be

tween the MT3X mixer section’s six “channeis” and the recorder section’s four “tracks.”

“Track” is also used when referring to the four Tracks” actually recorded on the tape.

MIXER INPUT CHANNELS

O Input Jacks 1—6

These six input jacks (MIC/LINE 1, MIC/LINE 2 and

LINE 3 through LINE 6) accept signals from any

line-level source such as an electronic musical in

strument or a tape player. MIC/LINE jacks 1 and 2

also accept signals from electric musical instru

ments such as electric guitars and basses, or mi

crophones. Inputs 1 through 6 are standard

monaural 1/4" phone jacks. When a source is

plugged into one of these jacks, its signal is sent to

the corresponding channel of the MT3X’s mixer.

0 MIC/LINE Trim Controls (Channels 1 and 2

only)

The trim controls adjust the sensitivity of the chan

nel-1 and channel-2 inputs to accept a wide range

of signal levels — from line to microphone. The trim

controls are used in conjunction with the channel-1

and channel-2 faders to set the optimum recording

level with a wide range of sources (see “SETTING

RECORDING LEVELS” on page 17).

0 TAPE-OFF-MIC/LINE (TAPE-OFF-LINE) Se

lector (Channels 1 through 4 only)

These selectors determine whether the input to the

corresponding mixer channel is the output from the

correspondingly numbered track of the MT3X re

corder section, or the channel MIC/LINE or LINE

input. The OFF position turns the input to that

channel OFF. Channels 5 and 6 accept line-level

input only.

O EQ LO & HI Controls

These controls permit individually modifying the re

sponse of each channel. The HI and LO EQ con

trols function as follows:

FREQUENCY (Hz)

AUX 1 and AUX 2 Controls

The AUX controls are used primarily when adding

effects such as reverberation or delays to the

sound of each channel or track. The AUX 1 and

AUX 2 controls on each mixer channel determine

the amount of signal from that channel sent to the

AUX SND 1 or AUX SND 2 jack, respectively. The

AUX SND jacks can be connected to the input of

an external signal processor such as the YAMAHA

SPX900 Professional Multi-Effect Processor (see

“USING THE AUX SEND/RTN LOOPS” on page

22).
