3 Monitoring menu only: From the same submenu select [CH1 Level] to [CH4 Level], [CH1/2 Level] or
[CH3/4 Level] according to the audio channel selected in step 1.
4 Turn the SELECT dial to set the audio recording level and then press SET.
• For reference, 0 corresponds to –G, 50 corresponds to 0 dB, and 100 corresponds to +18 dB.
• As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the audio level meter will go to the right of the –18 dB
mark (one mark right of the –20 dB mark) only occasionally.
NOTES NOTES
• When both CH1 and CH2, or CH3 and CH4, are set to the INPUT terminals and to the same type of analog
audio source (external microphone or external line input), if both channels are also set to automatic audio level
adjustment, you can use the
[CH3/CH4 ALC Link] settings to link the audio level adjustment of both channels.
• If at least one of the channels is set to the INPUT terminals, an analog audio source and manual audio level
adjustment, you can activate the audio limiter to prevent audio distortions. When activated, the audio limiter
will limit the amplitude of audio input signals when they start to distort. Use the
> [Audio Input] > [INPUT 1&2 Limiter] setting.
• We recommend using headphones when adjusting the audio level. If the input level is too high, audio may
become distorted even if the audio level indicator shows an appropriate level.
• If you set an assignable button to [Audio Lvl Indicator] (A 127), you can press the button to turn on and off
the audio level indicator that appears at the right of the monitoring screen.
