Microphone Sensitivity

Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet recording needs.

..................................................................................................................................................

Notes

• When the speaker’s voice is to be recorded clearly, set it to [DICT] (dictation) mode. If breath directly

hits the microphone it will be noisy, so keep the microphone a little lower than the speaker’s mouth (5 to

10cm/2 to 4 inches) while recording.

• If background noise is affecting your recording even in [DICT] (dictation) mode, we recommend that you

either set the directional microphone (☞ P36) to [Zoom] or [Narrow] or use an ME12 dictation microphone

(sold separately, ☞ P167).

While the recorder is stopped or

during recording, slide the Mic

Sense switch and select a

microphone sensitivity among

[LECTURE], [CONF], and [DICT].

Every time the setting is switched, it

cycles through the display’s microphone

sensitivities.

LECTURE(

): Highest recording

sensitivity suitable for conferences with

large crowds and recording audio at a

distance or low volume.

CONF(

): Suitable for recording

meetings and seminars with a small

number of people.

DICT( ): Lowest recording sensitivity

suitable for dictation.
