Help Guide Wireless Microphone ECM-W3 / ECM-W3S About the SAFETY button Pressing and holding the SAFETY button for about 2 seconds lights the SAFETY lamp in yellow to indicate that the receiver is in SAFETY mode. While the receiver is in SAFETY mode, audio recordings are made with the 20 dB reduced channel gain to suppress audio distortion at loud volume levels. On ECM-W3 While the receiver is in SAFETY mode, the channel gain may be reduced depending on the number of microphones in use or the mode switch setting. When two microphones are in use: Mode switch setting: MIX Audio recordings are made with mixed audio from the two microphones while the right channel gain is reduced by 20 dB and the left channel gain is kept unchanged. Mode switch setting: SEP SAFETY mode is disabled. Hint While MIX is selected by the mode switch and the receiver is in SAFETY mode, selecting SEP with the mode switch causes the SAFETY lamp to blink in yellow and then go out, and the receiver automatically comes out of SAFETY mode. When one microphone is in use: Mode switch setting: MIX Regardless of whether the microphone No. 1 or No. 2 is in use, the right channel gain is reduced by 20 dB and the left channel gain is kept unchanged for audio recording. Mode switch setting: SEP When the microphone No. 1 is in use, the right channel gain is reduced by 20 dB and the left channel gain is kept unchanged for audio recording. When the microphone No. 2 is in use, the right channel gain is kept unchanged and the left channel gain is reduced by 20 dB for audio recording. Hint While a single microphone is in use, SEP is selected by the mode switch, and the receiver is in SAFETY mode, connecting another microphone to the receiver causes the SAFETY lamp to blink in yellow, and the receiver automatically comes out of SAFETY mode. Hint Information about whether or not the receiver is in SAFETY mode is stored when the receiver is turned off. The next time the receiver is turned on, the previous SAFETY mode state of the receiver is retained. 21

About the SAFETY button
Pressing and holding the SAFETY button for about 2 seconds lights the SAFETY lamp in yellow to indicate that the
receiver is in SAFETY mode.
While the receiver is in SAFETY mode, audio recordings are made with the 20 dB reduced channel gain to suppress
audio distortion at loud volume levels.
On ECM-W3
While the receiver is in SAFETY mode, the channel gain may be reduced depending on the number of microphones in
use or the mode switch setting.
When two microphones are in use:
Mode switch setting: MIX
Audio recordings are made with mixed audio from the two microphones while the right channel gain is reduced by
20 dB and the left channel gain is kept unchanged.
Mode switch setting: SEP
SAFETY mode is disabled.
Hint
While MIX is selected by the mode switch and the receiver is in SAFETY mode, selecting SEP with the mode switch
causes the SAFETY lamp to blink in yellow and then go out, and the receiver automatically comes out of SAFETY mode.
When one microphone is in use:
Mode switch setting: MIX
Regardless of whether the microphone No. 1 or No. 2 is in use, the right channel gain is reduced by 20 dB and
the left channel gain is kept unchanged for audio recording.
Mode switch setting: SEP
When the microphone No. 1 is in use, the right channel gain is reduced by 20 dB and the left channel gain is kept
unchanged for audio recording.
When the microphone No. 2 is in use, the right channel gain is kept unchanged and the left channel gain is
reduced by 20 dB for audio recording.
Hint
While a single microphone is in use, SEP is selected by the mode switch, and the receiver is in SAFETY mode,
connecting another microphone to the receiver causes the SAFETY lamp to blink in yellow, and the receiver
automatically comes out of SAFETY mode.
Hint
Information about whether or not the receiver is in SAFETY mode is stored when the receiver is turned off. The next time the
receiver is turned on, the previous SAFETY mode state of the receiver is retained.
