Manual Audio Level Adjustment
You can set the audio level for each channel manually from -
1 Set the audio level switch of the desired channel to M (manual).
90
2 Turn the corresponding – dial to adjust the audio level.
• For reference, the 0 corresponds to -
10 corresponds to +18 dB.
• As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the audio level
meter on the screen will go to the right of the –18 dB mark (one mark
right of the –20 dB mark) only occasionally.
NOTES
• If at least one of the channels is set to manual audio level adjustment,
you can also activate the audio peak limiter to prevent audio distortions.
When activated, the audio peak limiter will limit the amplitude of audio
input signals when they exceed approximately –6 dBFS. Use the
[¡ Audio Setup] > [2] > [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 the sound is distorted even though the audio level indicator shows an appropriate level, activate the
microphone attenuator (A 91).
• We recommend using headphones to check the sound level while adjusting the audio recording level or when
the microphone attenuator is activated.
