Recording Options - Gemini DRP-1 Instruction Manual

The MIC-LINE switch represents what type of signal is
coming in to be recorded, and it corresponds to where
it is connected on the unit. If the signal is connected to a
Line input then the switch should be set to LINE, and if it
is connected to a Mic signal the switch should be set to
MIC. (MIC-LINE Switch (20))

Recording Options

With the DRP-1, several different types of recordings can be made. The
FORMAT/STEREO-MONO (18) button is used to set what bit rate
format to record as, and whether to record in Stereo or Mono.
*Note: These settings can only be selected when you first enter record
mode, and cannot be changed once a recording has begun.
To enter record mode, press the RECORD (14) button. Before record-
ing, push the FORMAT/STEREO-MONO button down to alternate
between bit rate formats.
(Included bit rate formats are listed as follows)
Bit Rate Format Quality
128kbps (MP3) Lowest Quality
256kbps (MP3) Medium Quality
320kbps (MP3) Good Quality
44.1kHZ (WAV) Highest Quality
To switch between Stereo & Mono settings, press and hold the
FORMAT/STEREO-MONO button down in record mode.
*Note: When using a mono signal source, such as a guitar, be sure to
set the unit to MONO mode, otherwise only the left channel will be
recorded and heard upon playback.

Setting Recording Levels
If a recording is set as stereo (pictured), there will be two bars present
in the STEREO-MONO Signal gauge section. If it is set as mono, there
will be one bar present.
When a signal is too loud, distortion and clipping can occur. However, a
signal that is too low may sound muffled or not be audible at all.
To get the best recordings, you must apply the maximum possible
