Problem Items to Check Action
My microphone is too
quiet
Does the sensitivity of the microphone
match the input level of the
DUO-CAPTURE EX?
The DUO-CAPTURE EX’s microphone input
level is -60 dBu for the XLR connector, and
-46 dBu for the TRS phone type jack. If the
sensitivity of the microphone is low, the
sound will be quiet.
When a signal is input
via either the INPUT 1
or INPUT 2 jack only,
only one channel is
recorded
Is the DAW software congured to record
in stereo?
If so, the signal input via the INPUT 1 jack is
recorded on the left channel, and the signal
input via the INPUT 2 jack is recorded on the
right channel.
Change the DAW software’s settings so
that it records in monaural.
A device connected to
one of the input jacks is
distorting
Is the PEAK indicator lit?
Turn the [SENS 1] or [SENS 2] knob toward
the left to reduce the input level (p. 7).
