Zoom Mic
For WS-803:
This function can be switched using the
built-in stereo microphone from expansive
stereo recording to high directivity
recording.
• Increasing the value narrows the
directivity.
• Decreasing the value widens the
directivity, enabling you to record in an
expansive stereo sound.
• If you reduce the directivity and widen
the recording range, the recorded sound
has an expansive stereo feeling.

Low Cut Filter
The recorder has a Low Cut Filter function to
minimize low-frequency sounds and record
voices more clearly. This function can reduce
noise from air conditioners and projectors
and other similar noises.
[ On ]:
Enables the Low Cut Filter function.
[ Off ]:
Disables the Low Cut Filter function.
VCVA
When the microphone senses that
sounds have reached a preset threshold
volume level, the built-in Variable Control
Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording
automatically, and stops when the volume
drops below the threshold level. The
VCVA feature extends recording time and
conserves memory by stopping recording
during silent periods, which helps playback
to be more efficient.
[ On ]:
Enables the VCVA function. Starts
recording in VCVA mode.
[ Off ]:
Disables the VCVA function. Resumes
recording in normal mode.
