4-channel Recording
Here, we describe how to perform basic recordings using four channels. These examples use four
DR-80C microphones. For details on microphone settings see "Setting and Placing Microphones in
Arenas or Concert Halls" on p. 12 in this guide.
Recording the "Performance" and "Audience" Simultaneously
This describes how to make recordings with even more realism by using the 4-channel
simultaneous recording feature. If you record the "performance" and the "audience" separately in
stereo, you can record the actual experience of being at the arena. Also, you can easily make
adjustments after the recording because the balance of each sound can be changed separately.

See "Recording the Audience" on p. 13 in this guide for how to record the audience.

Recording Multiple Input Levels Simultaneously
Mistakes cannot be fi xed at events like live performances. But even if you set the input level during
rehearsal in advance, the recording can still fail because of unexpected sounds that are too loud or
too soft. For these times, set combo input jacks 1 and 2 to the normal input level and combo input
jacks 3 and 4 to a slightly lower input level. If you do this, you can avoid a recording mistake because
even if the normal input level is clipped, the sound in combo input jacks 3 and 4 is not clipped.
