o MASTER Fader

The MASTER fader sets the overall output level of the

MT100 mixer section, and thus the level of the output

signal appearing at the ST OUT jacks. The MASTER fader

also affects recording level when any of the mixer

section’s channels are assigned to the recorder’s tracks

via the PAN controis (see "SETTING RECORDING LEV

ELS” on page 12).

® MONITOR Controls

The four MONITOR controls determine the levei of the

signai from the corresponding recorder tracks which is

sent to the PHONES jack when the PHONES SELECT

switch is set to either “MONITOR” or "MIX.” The MONI

TOR controls are primarily used to set up the optimum

leveis for monitoring recorded tracks while recording new

material (overdubbing).

o PHONES SELECT Switch

The MT100 permits convenient headphone monitoring via

a pair of headphones plugged into the PHONES jack. The

PHONES SELECT switch determines which signals are

sent to the PHONES jack for monitoring.

MONITOR: In this position only the output from the

recorder’s four tracks is sent directly to the PHONES

jack via the four MONITOR controls.

MIX: Both the output from the recorder’s four tracks (via

the MONITOR controls) and the stereo output from

the mixer section are sent to the PHONES jack.

STEREO: Oniy the stereo output from the mixer section is

sent to the PHONES jack.

0 PHONES Control

The PHONES control independently adjusts the level of

the headphone signal, making it simple to set the most

comfortable monitoring ievei.

0 PHONES Jack

Any pair of stereo monitor headphones with an impedance

of between approximately 8 and 40 ohms can be plugged

into this jack. Headphone monitoring is the most conven

ient way to iisten to the MTIOO’s various signais, and we

recommend that you obtain a pair of high-quality monitor

ing headphones for this purpose. The YAMAHA MH100

are ideal.

0 AUX RTN Control

The AUX RTN control determines the levei at which the

signai from an externai signai processor fed by the AUX

SEND jack is returned and mixed in with the MTIOO’s

main stereo output signal. The output from an external

signal processor fed by the AUX SEND jack must be con

nected to the AUX RTN jack (see "USING THE AUX

SEND/RTN LOOP” on page 16).

® METER Switch

The METER switch determines whether the four LED peak

meters display levels from the corresponding recorder

tracks when set to "4 TRACK,” or meters 1 and 2 dispiay

the level of signals appearing at the mixer section’s stereo

outputs (the ST OUT jacks) when the METER switch is set

to "STEREO.” ‘

0 LED Peak Meters

The four LED peak meters accurately display output levels

from the MTIOO’s four recorder tracks when the METER

switch is set to “4 TRACK,” of the first two meters (num

bered 1 and 2) display levels appearing at the mixer

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

METER switch is set to “STEREO.”

The LED peak meters are important for setting up the

optimum recording levels when recording new material

(see “SETTING RECORDING LEVELS” on page 12).

0 dbx ON/OFF Switch

The dbx switch determines whether the MTIOO’s internal

dbx noise reduction system is ON or OFF. For normal

recording and piayback using the MT100, the dbx switch

shouid be turned ON. This provides a significantiy im

proved signal-to-noise ratio (as much as 85 dB) so your

recordings will sound cleaner and have much less tape

hiss.

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 piaying back

tapes that were recorded on other equipment and which

are not dbx-encoded.

0 PITCH Control

The PITCH control varies tape speed by ±10%, making it

possibie to ’lune” material recorded on the MT100 to

match the pitch of musical instruments, or to slightly

lengthen or shorten the running time of a recording to

meet specific timing requirements. Tape speed is normal

when the PITCH control is set to its center click-stop posi

tion. Tape speed is increased by sliding the control to

wards the “+” end of the scale, and decreased by sliding

the control towards the end of the scale.
