Troubleshooting

No sound output

Check that the unit is powered on, master volume is up, and outputs are correctly assigned. Verify headphone mix settings.

Recording not starting

Ensure an SD card is inserted and properly formatted. Check that the record button is engaged and that the card has sufficient free space.

USB audio interface not recognized

Confirm the USB cable is securely connected to both the L-20 and your computer/iOS device. Try a different USB port or cable. Ensure the correct input mode is selected on the L-20.

Wireless control not connecting

Make sure your iOS device is on the same Wi-Fi network as the L-20. Restart both the app and the L-20. Check for app updates.

Distorted audio input

Adjust the gain knob for the specific input channel to reduce signal level. Engage the pad if necessary for very hot signals. Check the single-knob compressor settings.
