the IC recorder at a more upright angle on a
table, you can adjust the angle of the IC
recorder and the built-in microphones more
precisely.
When recording a chorus or piano
performance, for example, place the IC
recorder on a table approximately 2 to 3
meters (80 to 120 in.) from the
performer(s). Set up the IC recorder with
the display window facing up, and with the
built-in microphones pointing towards the
sound source.
