Adjusting the input level

Before starting recording, the input level should
be adjusted to prevent the recorded sounds
from being distorted due to excessively large
input signals or from being inaudible due to
excessively small input signals compared to
noise.
In addition to manual adjustment, the unit has
the following three level adjustment functions:
peak reduction, automatic level control, and
limiter. Any of these can be used as required.
TIP
In addition to adjusting the INPUT level, try changing the
distance and angle between the microphone and the sound
source. The angle and distance of the microphone can also
change the character of the recorded sound.
