• Recording a slate tone/slate mic signal
While sliding and holding the [SLATE] switch to “TONE” or “MIC”, the slate tone (at 1
kHz, reference level) or the slate microphone signal is fed to all tracks and stereo
busses, allowing you to record the slate tone or the slate microphone signal during
recording.
You can adjust the recording level of the slate tone in the following manners depending
on the [DISC FEED] switch setting.
If you set the “Tone rec mode” menu in the Setup mode appropriately, the slate tone
is automatically recorded at the beginning of an audio file when recording is made to
a “Normal” mode disk. (Note that this function is not available when recording to a
“Tape” mode disk.)
You can set the duration of the slate tone automatically recorded between 1 and 10
seconds (default: 10 seconds), as well as select between two types; continuous tone
or 4 pop tones. For details, see “Tone rec mode” on page 94.
<Notes>
• The slate tone is used for analog level calibration, therefore, it is not recorded
when selecting the digital input.
• While sliding and holding the [SLATE] switch to the “TONE” position, the slate
tone is output from the [ANALOG LINE OUT] connectors, allowing to calibrate
external devices.
Regardless of the [LEVEL] and
[STEREO BUS LEVEL] control
settings, the slate tone is recorded
at the reference level.
The [STEREO BUS LEVEL] control
can be used to adjust the slate tone
recording level.
The [LEVEL] control can be used to
adjust the slate tone recording level.
[PEAK] indicator
• About overloading
While receiving an analog audio signal, if the input amplifier is clipped, the
corresponding PEAK indicator is lit in red. The responsibility of the detecting circuit
is approximately 10 milliseconds, and the indicator lights for more than 1.5 seconds
against momentary clipping.
By setting the “Input clip” item to “On” using the “Error tone” menu in the Setup
mode, the error tone is generated from the internal speaker or headphones for
warning. See “Chapter 7: Setup mode” on page 96 for details.
<Note>
If the [MONITOR] control is set to “OFF”, you cannot hear the error tone.
