Developer's column: Tips for recording with the built-in microphones You might wonder how to best orient and position the recorder when recording with the built-in microphones. One rule of thumb is to point the device straight ahead (from the built-in microphones) to the center of the recorded sound stage. Ideally, you should place the PR7 on a stable surface that will not be affected by noise from the floor. If you place the PR7 on top of a desk, place a soft cloth underneath it so that it will not pick up unnecessary noise. You should also take advantage of the PR7's excellent ability to reduce noise (page 14) and prevent excessive level of input (page 14). Center of the sound 9 Reference Manual
