Using the dynamics function

By turning the dynamics function on, you can apply this unit's
limiter or compressor to recording sources and prevent input
signal levels from overloading during recording.
1.
Select DYNAMICS on the REC 2 page to open the DYNAMICS
screen. (See "Menu operation procedures" on page 22.)
2.
Set the input signal dynamics function.
Option Meaning

sudden excessive input.
This applies light compression.
COMP_SOFT

This applies heavy compression.
This setting is good for recording meetings
COMP_HARD
and similar situations.
NOTE
i When the dynamics function is on, the
icon appears in the recording function activation sta-
tus area on the recording screen.
i Distortion of sounds may occur when signals that are very
loud are input even when the limiter is activated. In such a
case, lower the recording level or increase the distance be-
tween the mic and the sound source.
i Compressors are effects that suppress peak sounds and make
audio easier to hear overall by raising and lowering levels for
a more even volume.
i When REC SET LINK is set to OFF on the REC 1 page, the
levels of the left and right channel inputs are adjusted sepa-
rately. In this case, the left channel setting will be shown on
the Home Screen when recording or in recording standby. If
the left channel setting is OFF, but the right channel setting
is not OFF, however, the right channel setting will be shown
on the Home Screen. (See "Setting left/right channel inputs
separately" on page 57.)

Confirm the setting and return to the Menu Screen.
