Custom Presets for more information.
④ Microphone Gain/Monitor Mix Button Adjust the mic gain slider to set the volume of the sound source. Tap the button to
access monitor mix settings. See "Monitor Mix Blend" on monitor adjustment.
⑤ Preset Modes Set stereo width, equalization, and compression for specific applications. See "Preset Modes" for more infor-
mation.
⑥ Polar Pattern Selection Swipe to choose your pick-up pattern. Use the handles to adjust the width of the stereo image.
Tip: Consider the location of the microphone and the size of the sound source when adjusting the width. For example, a large orchestra or ensemble recording
benefits from a wide stereo image, which increases separation between instruments. Speech benefits from a narrow width, which improves clarity and rejects
ambient (room) sound.
⑦ Stereo Width Handles Use the dots to quickly set stereo width.
⑧ Advanced Features Fine tune your audio recording with limiter and compressor controls, high pass filter, left-right swap,
and equalization settings.
⑨ Navigation Bar Tap to access Mic Setup, Record, and My Recordings screens.
Preset Modes
Five selectable modes optimize settings for gain, stereo width, equalization, and compression. Set the microphone level and try
the modes to find which sounds best. Preset modes can affect the strength of the input signal, so adjust the microphone level
as needed after changing presets.

Characteristics
Narrow stereo width to reject background noise, equalization that emphasizes clarity and
fullness, and gentle compression.
Medium stereo width with subtle equalization to add richness and clarity for a natural
sound.
An unprocessed signal (no equalization or compression settings used). Adds flexibility
when processing the audio after recording.
Medium stereo width with transparent compression to smooth out volume spikes and
bring out quiet passages. The equalizer setting emphasizes detail and an overall natural
sound.
Wide stereo to increase separation between sources. Equalization further improves defi-
nition by reducing frequencies that can make the instrumentation sound crowded.
