Adjusting The Input Level; Manually Adjusting The Input Level - Tascam DR-07mkII Owner's Manual

NOTE
• The setting of left-right channels is disabled if an external
microphone is connected to the MIC/EXT IN jack.

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 low 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.

Manually adjusting the input level

The following procedures explain how to use the
Record Screen to set the levels.
CAUTION
Manual adjustment cannot be performed when the
automatic level control mode is selected as a level control
function ( lighted on the upper left in the recording
screen). To enable manual input level adjustment, select OFF
or other mode in the level control setting screen (see "Using
the Level Control Function" on page 57).
