Recording Audio

NOTES
When the audio level meter reaches the red point (0 dB), the sound may be distorted.
If the audio level meter display is normal but the sound is distorted, activate the microphone's
attenuator (A 75).
We recommend using headphones to check the sound level while adjusting the audio recording
level or when the microphone attenuator is activated.
When using automatic adjustment, if both INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 are set to the same audio input
(external microphone or external line input), you can use the [FUNC.] > [MENU] > p >
[INPUT 1/2 ALC Link] setting to link the audio level adjustment of both channels.
If at least one of the channels is set to manual adjustment, you can activate the audio peak limiter
with the [FUNC.] > [MENU] > p > [INPUT 1/2 Limiter] setting. When activated,
appears on the screen and the audio peak limiter will limit the amplitude of audio input signals so
that they do not exceed -6 dBFS.
Adjusting the Microphone’s Sensitivity (INPUT terminals)
You can adjust the sensitivity of a microphone connected to the INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 terminal.
POINTS TO CHECK
Set the input selection switch of the desired INPUT terminal to MIC or MIC+48V.
1 Open the desired INPUT terminal’s sensitivity submenu.
[FUNC.] > [MENU] > p > [INPUT 1 Mic Trimming] or [INPUT 2 Mic Trimming]
2 Touch the desired level and then touch [X].
The available sensitivity levels are +12 dB, +6 dB, 0 dB, -6 dB and -12 dB.
Activating the Microphone’s Attenuator (INPUT terminals)
You can activate the microphone attenuator (20 dB) for microphones connected to the INPUT 1 and
INPUT 2 terminals to prevent audio from being distorted if the audio level is too high.
POINTS TO CHECK
Set the input selection switch of the desired INPUT terminal to MIC or MIC+48V.
1 Open the desired INPUT terminal’s microphone attenuator submenu.
[FUNC.] > [MENU] > p > [INPUT 1 Mic Att.] or [INPUT 2 Mic Att.]
2Touch [i On] and then touch [X].
