This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. CAUTION Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by TEAC CORPORATION for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. For the customers in Europe WARNING This is a Class A product. [. . . ] / SUB OUTPUTS (standard jacks) These output the SUB bus signals on balanced jacks, but connection with unbalanced cables is also possible. The MONO jack outputs a monaural signal. SIGNAL GND When connecting a record player to channels 9-10, connect the player's grounding wire here. If humming occurs when external equipment other than a record player is connected to the mixer, connecting this jack with part of the metal frame of the external equipment (or the rack frame if rack mounted) with grounding wire might reduce the noise. These output the stereo bus signals. The standard jacks (L, R, MONO) output balanced signals, but connection with unbalanced cables is also possible. The MONO jack outputs a monaural signal. The RCA pin jacks (L, R) output unbalanced signals. @ 13-14 input jacks (standard jacks) The outputs of electronic instruments, audio equipment and other line level signals can be connected to these input jacks. Both 3-pole balanced and 2-pole unbalanced standard plugs can be connected. If a connection is only made to the L/MONO input jack, the signal is sent to both left and right channels. , PHANTOM (+48V) switch Use this to turn +48V phantom power to channel 1-6 MIC inputs ON and OFF. CAUTION Do not connect or disconnect mics when the PHANTOM (+48V) switch is ON. On M-164FX and M-106 mixers, do not connect anything to this input jack if the internal effects return channels are set to channels 13-14 (INT. EFFECT RTN switch not pushed in). # 9-10, 11-12 input jacks (RCA pin jacks) The outputs of electronic instruments, audio equipment and other line level signals can be connected to these unbalanced input jacks. A record player can also be connected to the 9-10 input jacks. When doing so, also connect the grounding wire from the record player to the SIGNAL GND jack and turn the PHONO ON switch on the top panel ON. 10 TASCAM M-164/M-164FX/M-106 2 - Names and Functions of Parts $* USB port (M-106 ONLY) Connect the mixer to a computer from this port using the included USB cable. The signals from these channels can also be sent to AUX 1. · · ª Channels 13-14 · · Connect a stereo sound source using standard jacks (L, R). These jacks are balanced, but they can also be connected with unbalanced sound sources. · If a mono sound source is connected to the L jack, the L input signal is sent to both channels 13 and 14. Connecting synthesizers, other sound sources and audio equipment (line level sound sources) Line level sound sources can be connected to every channel (1­16). However, the types of jacks and mixer functions differ depending on the channel. Channels 7­16 are five pairs of stereo channels, and channels 9-10 can also be connected to a record player. ª · On M-164FX and M-106 mixers, if the INT. EFFECT RTN switch is not pushed in, the internal effects return signal is input to channels 13-14. CAUTION · On M-164FX and M-106 mixers, when connecting an external sound source to the standard jacks of channels 13-14, push the INT. EFFECT RTN switch in to set channels 15-16 as the internal effects return channels. EFFECT RTN switch is not pushed in, the signal from the external sound source connected to the standard jacks of channels 13-14 and the internal effects return signal will interfere with each other and neither signal will be input correctly. The signals from channels 13-14 can also be sent to AUX 1. Channels 1­6 are balanced, but they can also be connected with unbalanced sound sources. levels (see "Adjusting levels " on page 18). The mixer channel functions include a high-pass filter, a 3-band EQ, AUX 1 and 2 sends and pan. · Connect using the standard (LINE) jacks. [. . . ] Changes to various driver settings can be made here. · Settings section Driver settings Audio Performance (Windows OS) The M-106 driver stores audio input and output signals temporarily in a buffer. The buffer can be set to one of five sizes using the Audio Performance item. The smallest buffer size has the lowest latency, while the largest buffer size has the highest latency. The smaller the buffer size is, the shorter the time that the audio signal will be delayed from the time that the input signal is monitored in real time. [. . . ]
