Gain 4.5.1 High/Low Type 2672 has a wide range of gain settings (–20 to + 50 dB) to allow the recording of a wide range of sounds. When you record a sound, you first record a calibration signal of, for example, 94 dB. If the sound you are recording is at a much lower level, you may want to increase the gain setting to obtain a better recording.
flat, and normalisation is usually required. This is achieved by equaliza- tion in Type 2672 (DFCF On), before the signals are processed and recorded on a DAT recorder, and can improve the signal-to-noise ratio by as much as 10 dB in the frequency range 2 –...
