© Mic attenuator switch [MIC ATT]
Usually set this switch at the "0" position.
Mic attenuator is useful when recording a large input signal on
location (rock music, etc.) or recording with a microphone too
close to the source without overloading the tape deck amplifier.
When the needles of the VU meters swing over the 0 VU with the
REC LEVEL MIC controls turned down on the scale around the in-
dication 2-3, first set the MIC ATT
switch at "15".
At this posi-
tion, the input level is reduced by 15 dB. If the input signal level
is still large, use the "30" position. At this position, the level will
be reduced by 30 aB.
