Microphones or equipment with line-level output can be connected directly to the two XLR/TRS combo inputs on the front. Their levels can be adjusted with the dedicated knobs.
During the recording of a meeting, for example, while recording the line outputs of the meeting system equipment via the recorder’s rear line inputs, you can simultaneously record two channels separately using microphones as a backup.
In a music classroom, studio or similar situation, you can easily set up a system for multitrack recording and other purposes using the line inputs for instruments with line output and the mic inputs for acoustic instruments.
The two XLR/TRS combo inputs on the front are suited for balanced +4 dBu line level input from mixers and other devices. They also support condenser mics that require phantom power supply (48 volts). These features enable a wide range of setups. The locking mechanism also prevents the unintended disconnection of cables.
The RCA unbalanced inputs on the back support –10 dBV line level input from mixers and other devices. Together with the XLR/TRS combo jacks a variety of devices can be connected.
The dual recording function allows a file to be recorded simultaneously at a lower level in addition to the main recording. If the main recording should become distorted due to sudden loud noises, you can use the backup file recorded at a lower level.
(When the dual recording function is enabled, only two inputs can be used to record.)
