This diagram shows the outputs of a stereo microphone connected to the mic

inputs of channels 1 and 2. The stereo pan switch is pressed in, so channel 1

goes only to the left of the main mix, and channel 2 goes to the right.

The tape output is connected to a location recording device, with a set of

headphones attached. It is best to keep the headphones on the last device in

your recording chain (the recording device). Many ﬂash-based digital devices

are available.

Set the main mix output level control to unity (U) and use the recorder's own

level control to adjust the levels going to the recorder. Each channel from the

microphone may be adjusted with the channel level controls. Keep them at the

same level to retain the true balance from the microphone.
