Setting the low-cut filter
The low-cut filter can reduce bothersome noise, such as from
wind, air-conditioners and projectors.
1. Select the I/O SETTING screen LOW CUT item to open the
LOW CUT screen. (See “Basic menu operation procedures” on
page 10.)
2. Set the cutoff frequency of the low-cut filter during input.
Options: OFF (default), 40 Hz, 80 Hz, 120 Hz, 220 Hz
NOTE
This setting can also be changed when in recording standby
or recording on the FUNCTION screen. In this case, you can
change the sound while monitoring the actual sound. (See
“Function menu list” on page 13.)
Using the limiter
Using the limiter can reduce distortion due to sudden excessive
sound input.
NOTE
•
Distortion of sounds may occur when signals that are very
loud are input even if the LIMITER function is activated.
In such a case, lower the recording level or increase the
distance between the mic and the sound source.
•
The limiter is disabled if the input source is set to DIGITAL.
•
When the limiter function is being used, the dual ADC
function cannot be used at the same time. (See “Improving
recording signal-to-noise (Dual ADC function)” on page
25.)
Using the Level Control Function
You can set the level control function for use with mic input.
1. Select the I/O SETTING screen LEVEL CONTROL item to open
the LEVEL CONTROL screen. (See “Basic menu operation
procedures” on page 10.)
2. Set the operation mode of the level control function.
Option Meaning
OFF (default)
This turns level control off.
AUTO LEVEL
When the input sound level is too low or
too high, the recording volume will be
increased or decreased automatically to
an appropriate level.
PEAK REDUCTION
This function reduces the recording level
automatically to a level that will not
distort when input sounds are too loud.
The recording level will not be raised
automatically. The recording level can be
raised manually if required.
NOTE
•
If the input source is set to LINE, EXT LINE or DIGITAL, the
level control function is disabled.
•
When AUTO LEVEL is selected, the input level knob has no
effect because the volume is adjusted automatically.
•
You can also change this setting with the FUNCTION screen
LEVEL CONTROL item. (See “Function menu list” on page
13.)
