USING
MICROPHONES
The SX-9000
permits
the use of two microphones at once,
for such
purposes
as recording a concert in stereo;
even
performances or dramas in large theaters can be efficiently
recorded.
1. Turn the VOLUME
-
SOURCE knob
all
the
way down
if
microphone
recording only is desired.
If
mixed recording,
combined with music from a record, etc., is desired, set
the SOURCE knob to the best level.
2.
Tii,e
MIC LEVEL A knob
controls the input
from
a
microphone
plugged
into
MIC
jack
A;
knob
B controls
jack
B. Tum
either of
these knobs
to the right to increase
input signal strength.
Adjust the level while watching for
"howling"
(acoustical
feedback
of the speaker signal
through the microphone). If
this occurs, reduce
the
volume or separate
the
microphone(s)
and speakers.
If
only one microphone
is used,
plug
it into
either
jack.
If
setting the MIC LEVEL
for another
jach
not being
used to
OFF,
the sound
will be reproduced
from
both
speakers.
NOTE:
When adjusting the MIC
LEVEL
control, be careful not
to cause
howling.
Howling
is
of course unpleasant to hear,
but
it
can also
damage
the
VU
meter
of
your
tape recorder
or deck during
recording.
3. If two
microphones are used, the one
connected to
jack
A will broadcast over the left
channel, B the right. If
you
wish to use only one of
these microphones
at
any
time,
tum the unused microphone level
control off. Then
the
microphone used
will broadcast over both channels.
USING
TAPE DECKS
AND TAPE
RECORDERS
As shown
in Fig.
9,
signals heard from
the
speakers
are
normally fed to the SX-9000 TAPE REC A and B terminals.
When recording, set the SELECTOR
and
MODE switches
to
your program
source. Refer
to the
sections
on
Listening
to
Broadcasts and
Listening
to Records. Recording signals
cannot
be
regulated
by the SX-9000 VOLUME,
BASS,
TREBLE
and TONE COLOR switches.
These must be
adjusted by the
recording level
control on the tape deck/tape
recorder.
NOTE: When
using mono tape
recorders,
either
the
left
channel
signal
or
the right channel signal may
be
recorded,
but
not
both.
The
CENTER CHANNEL
terminal should
therefore
be
used.
TAPE MONITOR
With 2-head
and 3-head type tape recorders
fitted with
monitor mechanisms,
turning the
TAPE MONITOR
switch
ON during recording
has the following
effects
(if
recording
and
playback
heads
are
first
connected): With the 2-head
type, signals fed
to the
recording
head
can
be
monitored;
with the 3-head type, signals
can be monitored immediately
after recording.
