Low Cut - Roland R-44 Owner's Manual

Recording
● Low cut
You can turn low cut ON when breathing noise (the sound of breathing while recording a voice) or wind
noise (when recording outside) may be a problem.
The low cut feature records while cutting the lower range of the input signal.
● Input level knobs
These knobs adjust sensitivity/input levels.
When recording in STEREOx2, these knobs control the following signals.
Channel 1
Channel 2
Channel 3
Channel 4
Adjusting the input levels
1.
Turn the Input level knob [SENS] (outer) all the way left.
2.
Turn the Input level knob [LEVEL] (inner) to the center position. This position is 0 dB.
3.
Hold down the [PAUSE] button and press the [REC] button.
The R-44 enters recording standby mode. During recording standby, the [REC] button blinks
and the indication alternates between REC and STANDBY.
4.
Play the sound to be recorded into the microphone.
Gradually turn the Input level knob [SENS] toward the right.
Sensitivity has 11 steps of +4, -2, -8, -14, -20, -26, -32, -38, -44, -50, and -56 dBu.
* When the channel name display reverses, the input level has reached the clipping level. Set the knob
to the position just before the display reverses.
5.
Adjust the Input level knob [LEVEL] so that the Level
meter shown in the display reaches a point slightly
before C (clip level). If the recording level is too low,
quiet sounds will not be recorded. If the recording level
is too high, loud sounds will be distorted, producing a
crackling noise in the recording.
* When the channel name is blinking, clipping has occurred at
the sensitivity adjustment stage. In this case, clipping
occurs even if the Level meter does not reach the clip level.
* The Level meter displays the clip level (C) in values relative to 0 dBFS (FS = full scale).
For example, 12 indicates -12 dBFS.
Difference between sensitivity and input level
Sensitivity and input level are differentiated in their use, as shown below.
