Help Guide IC Recorder ICD-UX560 / ICD-UX560F / ICD-UX565F About the peak meters indicating the recording volume levels During recording, the peak meters ( ) appear to help you adjust the recording level. Please adjust the orientation of the built-in microphones, the distance from the sound source, or the sensitivity setting of the microphones so that the recording level stays around -12 dB, which fits within the optimum range, as illustrated above. See Selecting the sensitivity level of the built-in microphones (Built-in Mic Sensitivity) for selecting the microphone sensitivity level. Hint When the input sound volume is low, it is recommended you move your IC recorder closer to the sound source or increase the microphone sensitivity level.
