Monitoring the input signals of specific tracks (PFL/SOLO)
1. Press
lon the tracks that you want to monitor.
The selected track keys will light orange, and the PFL screen
will open.
"PFL" or "SOLO" appears at the top of the display, and you
will be able to monitor the input signal with headphones.

Parameter names
Parameter Explanation
Source This sets the input source. (→P4 )
Trim This sets the input level.
Fader This sets the fader level.
Pan This sets the panning.
Phantom This sets phantom power.
Parameter Explanation
HPF This sets the high pass filter.
Input Limiter This sets the limiter.
Phase Invert This sets the phase.
Input Delay This sets the input delay.
Stereo Link This sets the stereo link.
PFL Mode This sets the monitoring volume on the PFL screen.
NOTE
This does not change the signals output from MAIN OUT and SUB
OUT.
HINT
Use
Eto select parameters and change setting values.
2. Press
lor mfor the monitored tracks.
Open the Home Screen.
In Version 3.0, setting the input source was added. You can monitor the input signals of specified tracks. Even tracks that have
not been set to record can be input to the PFL screen and their input sounds monitored.This is convenient when using tracks as
return inputs.You can also make various settings for these tracks.

Follow these procedures to set the input source of each track.
1. Press m.
2. Use eto select

, and
press E
3. Use eto select

, and press E.
4. Use eto select a track, and
press E.
Setting the input source (Input Source)
HINT
Select ALL to set all the tracks at the same time.
5. Use eto select the input
source, and press E.
Setting value Explanation
Analog Input This treats signals input through INPUT 1–4 as input
signals.
USB 1, USB 2,
USB 3, USB 4
When AIF with Rec (→P.19) is set to On,
computer output signals are treated as input signals.
NOTE
• The Input Source cannot bechanged for Inputs 5 and 6.
• When dual channel recording is enabled the Input Sourcecannot
be changed for the dual channel recording tracks.

Time
When the limiter is ON, if the input signal level exceeds the
set threshold value, the signal level will be suppressed to pre-
vent the sound from distorting.
The amount of time after the input signal exceeds the thresh-
old until compression of the output signal is maximized is
called the “attack time”. The amount of time after the input
signal goes below the threshold until the limiter stops com-
pressing the signal is called the “release time”. You can change
these two parameters to adjust the sound quality.
HINT
The Fhas a newly designed limiter that provides 10 dB of
headroom, allowing signals to be kept well below the set threshold,
therefore more effectively preventing distortion.
1. Press m.
2. Use eto select

and press E.
3. Use eto select

, and press E.
4. Use eto select the input,
and press E.
HINT
Select
ALL
to set all the inputs at the same time.
Input limiter
In Version 3.0, advanced limiter was added.The limiter can prevent distortion by controlling input signals that have excessively
high levels.
Using the limiter
5. Use eto select
On/Off
, and
press E.
6. Use eto select the setting,
and press e.
Setting value Explanation
Off This disables the limiter.
On (Normal) This applies an ordinary limiter.The ratio is 20:1.
On (Advanced)
By detecting the maximum level in advance, this optimized
limiter prevents distortion even more than ordinary limiter
operation.The ratio is ∞:1, providing increased internal
headroom.
NOTE
When set to On (Advanced), the input latency of the F
increases 1 ms. When monitoring sounds being recorded with a
mic in real-time, increased latency can cause interference between
sound transmitted through the air from the source and the delayed
monitored sound, possibly making accurate monitoring of the
sounds difficult.

Setting the type
5. Use eto select

,
and press E.
6. Use eto select the type,
and press E.
Setting value Explanation
Hard Knee Only peaks that exceed the threshold are attenuated.There
is no effect below the threshold.
Soft Knee The limiter gradually affects the signal about 6 dB below
the threshold for a gentler effect.
NOTE
This setting can be made when On/Off is set to On (Normal).
NOTE
• When set to On (Advanced), the Sample Rate cannot be set to 192
kHz. Moreover, when the Sample Rate is set to 192 kHz, the On
(Advanced) setting cannot be selected.

Setting the attack time
This sets the amount of time until limiting starts after the
input signal exceeds the threshold.
5. Use eto select
Attack
Time
, and press E.
6. Use Eto adjust the time,
and press m.
HINT
This can be set from 1 to 4 ms.
NOTE
This setting can be made when On/Off is set to On (Normal).
Setting the threshold
This sets the level at which the limiter begins operating.
5. Use eto select
Threshold
,
and press E.
6. Use eto adjust the
setting, and press .
HINT
This can be set from −16 to −2 dBFS.
NOTE
This setting can be made when On/Off is set to On (Normal).

NOTE
This setting can be made when On/Off is set to On (Normal).
Setting the release time
This sets the amount of time until limiting stops after the
input signal goes below the threshold.
5. Use eto select
Release
Time
, and press E.
6. Use eto adjust the time,
and press m.
HINT
• Limiter operation is linked for tracks that have stereo link or MS
stereo link enabled. If the signal for either linked channel reaches
the threshold, the limiter will operate on both tracks.
• When the limiter is operating, the right-most segment of the
level meter and the mixer limiter indicator on the display light.

Setting the target level
When the limiter On/Off setting is set to On (Advanced), use
this to set the target output level for the signal.
5. Use eto select
Target

, and press E.
6. Use eto adjust the setting,
and press m.
HINT
• This can be set from −16 to 0 dBFS.
• After a signal passes through the limiter, it will not exceed the set
target level value.
NOTE
This setting becomes available when On/Off is set to On (Advanced).
