How to use

Connect microphones to the mic inputs and instruments or line sources to the respective line or Hi-Z inputs.

Route the master mix to monitors or a PA system and connect the USB output to a computer for recording or streaming. Monitor levels using the main meter and make fine adjustments with the master fader.

Использование и рекомендации

Для стабильного качества записи держите входные уровни в зелёной зоне индикаторов и используйте низкий уровень выходного сигнала при подключении к студийному интерфейсу или компьютеру. При подкастинге используйте поп-фильтр и направленную микрофонную капсулу; при подключении инструментов активируйте Hi-Z входы для получения корректного импеданса.
