Reversing The Stereo Field Of The Internal Mics - Roland CD-2u Owner's Manual

Reversing the Stereo Field of the Internal Mics

When using the internal mics (Page 41), the sound from the mic at the left side of the CD-2u/
SD-2u will be recorded on the left channel (L), and the sound from the right mic will be
recorded on the right channel (R).
If, as shown in the illustration below, the internal mics are pointed toward the performer on
stage, the orientation of the internal mics will be reversed in comparison to the ears of the
listeners, causing the recorded sound to be heard with a reversed stereo field.
In such cases, you can exchange the left and right channels of the internal mics. This way, the
performance will be recorded just as you heard it.
