Help Guide Linear PCM Recorder PCM-A10 Taking full advantage of the adjustable microphones You can manually change the positioning of the built-in microphones in three ways to best suit the recording scene. Both microphones are positioned to point in the same direction (Zoom-in positioning) The built-in microphones collect sounds mostly from the direction in which they point. This microphone positioning is recommended for recording sounds from a particular direction, such as recording a voice note or an interview. Both microphones are tilted outward to lean away from each other at 90° (Wide stereo positioning) The right built-in microphone collects sounds from the right while the left built-in microphone collects sounds from the left. This microphone positioning is recommended for recording wide stereo sound, such as discussions in a meeting, music performances in a hall, lectures in a seminar, or singing of wild birds. Both microphones are tilted inward to lean toward each other at 90° (X-Y positioning) The right built-in microphone collects sounds from the left while the left built-in microphone collects sounds from the right. This microphone positioning is recommended for recording deep natural sound, such as music performances in a studio. When the built-in microphones are in the X-Y positioning, do not place your linear PCM recorder extremely close to the sound source to avoid collecting sounds from the left and the right in the inverted manner.
