  • Notes
  • MT400 Features
    The MT400 consists of three major sections:

    1. Mixer section that enables you to mix sounds (with eight inputs and one stereo output):
    2. Recorder section that records and plays sound (with four tracks and four channels):
    3. Utility sections including meters, power switches, etc.


    Mixer

    •  Continuously variable GAIN controls on Input Channels 1 through 4 allow the MT400 to handle any type of input source with ease, including microphone and line-level signals such as synthesizers.
    • Musical three-band EQ on each input channel, and INSERT I/O jacks on Input Channels 1 and 2 for external processor patching enable high-quality recording.
    • Two auxiliary sends for external reverb and other effects processor patching.
    • Two stereo input jacks for connecting a synthesizer and other line-level instruments that have stereo outputs. These jacks can be also used to return processed signals from external signal processors.
    • In-line configuration that allows you to control input signals and tape playback signals simultaneously. You can monitor track signals adjusted by the CUE controls while making a recording on all four input channels. During mixdown, you can play back four-track signals via the input channels, while mixing input signals via the CUE controls.


    Recorder

    • dbx™ noise reduction system provides a signal-to-noise ratio in excess of 80 dB.
    • Punch in/out functions using a footswitch or the switch on the panel.
    • SYNC OUT outputs a sync track (Track 4) signal, providing synchronous operation between the MT400 and a MIDI sequencer. In SYNC mode, the dbx™ noise reduction can be turned off for Track 4, ensuring reliable synchronization.
    • Tape speed is switchable between 9.5 cm/second and 4.8 cm/second. The MT400 standard tape speed is 9.5 cm/second for greater sonic performance. A speed of 4.8 cm/second is the same speed as a normal cassette recorder, doubling the recording time relative to the MT400 standard speed.
    • Pitch control enables you to fine-adjust the pitch in the range between –10% and +10%.
  • Net weight (2.2 lb = 1 kg)
