o When recording a mic, we recommend using headphones
for monitoring to prevent feedback .* If monitoring with
speakers, be sure to lower their output volume and keep the
mic away from them to prevent feedback .
*Feedback explanation
Feedback is when sound output from a speaker is picked up
by a mic and returned causing oscillation . This could cause
very loud noise that could even damage speakers .
o Silences can also be created (page 20) when recording
with mic input .
o When recording a mix of the line input sound and mic
input, the REC LEVEL (recording level) knob can be used to
adjust the volume after mixing .
