NOTE:
How to use WAV and MP3 format
• The WAV FILES with no compression are used for
high quality sound recording. Because data is not
compressed, the volume of the file will increase
compare to MP3 format.
• MP3 FILES decrease the sound quality because of
data compression, but are useful to save SD card
capacity and to record much more sounds.

VARIETY OF WAV FILES
S e l e c t i o n s a re : S a m p l i n g R a t e / F re q u e n c y
(44.1/48/96 kHz), the frequency when changing
analogue signals to digital signal, Quantum bit
numeral value indicating the minuteness of
dynamics (16/24 bit).
The bigger the number, the higher the sound quality,
but the more file capacity is required.
The WAV files recorded on STEREO/4CH/STAMINA
mode correspond to BWF (Broadcast Wave Format)
and documented the marks and production date.
VARIETY OF MP3
Select the bit rate which indicates information
volume per minute. The bigger the numeral number,
the lower the rate of compression and the higher
the sound quality. The higher compression MP3 will
consumes less capacity of SD card.
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) means the bit rate style
variable according to the input information volume.
