Turning Down The Microphone Volume At Once (Microphone Attenuation) - Sony PCM-D10 Operating Instructions Manual

Recording using other devices (continued)
Note
• When a device is connected to the XLR/TRS jack(s)
and either or both of the left and right XLR/TRS
INPUT LEVEL switches are placed in the "LINE"
position, the LIMITER and LCF(Low Cut) functions
do not work.
• Before connecting or disconnecting an external
microphone or device, make sure that the phantom
power switch is placed in the "OFF" position. If you
plug or unplug the cable of the connected device
while the switch is placed in the "ON" position, it
may produce a loud noise or cause the device to
malfunction.
• While the phantom power switch is placed in the
"ON" position, the linear PCM recorder consumes
more power. When you do not intend to use an
external microphone with phantom power support,
slide the switch to "OFF."
