Menu setting method Zoom Mic For WS-803: This function can be switched using the built-in stereo microphone from expansive stereo recording to high directivity recording. • Increasing the value narrows the directivity. • Decreasing the value widens the directivity, enabling you to record in an expansive stereo sound. • If you reduce the directivity and widen the recording range, the recorded sound has an expansive stereo feeling. 4 About the Zoom Mic function: Directivity (high) Directivity (low) Sound collection (narrow) Sound collection (wide) Low Cut Filter Menu setting method The recorder has a Low Cut Filter function to minimize low-frequency sounds and record voices more clearly.
