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 75 (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.

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.
