To achieve high-quality audio recordings, select from the three microphone modes which best matches to your
usage or environment.
Dictation 1 is recommended for recording in quiet environment. Dictation 2 narrows the directionality of the
recording in order to capture the voice of the speaker. This is effective when recording in noisy environment. The
Conference mode records in high quality stereo which is useful when recording multiple number of users in a
conference room.
