SETTING THE RECORD LEVEL
PR CEDURES F R REC RDING WITH THE LIMITER
fejrn on the LIMITER after setting the recording level. To set
Whe level, switch to MANUAL, then adjust the REC LEVEL
control while watching the VU meter.
rdinarily, the VU meter needle deflection should be as large
as possible. If the VU meter needle stays on the right side
of the scale, the level is too high and results in distorted
sound. Conversely, if the VU meter needle stays on the left
side of the scale, the level is too low and a poor S/N ratio
will result.
HIGH V LUME MICR PH NE REC RDINGS
Certain microphone recording situations may result in
extremely high microphone input levels. In such cases the
REC LEVEL control cannot be set to the desired position
without VU meter deflection far into the red zone. A greater
range of REC LEVEL control rotation can be obtained by
the MIC ATT switch. This switch will attenuate the input
level by 10 dB or 20 dB. In normal recording, leave the MIC
ATT switch in the " 0 dB" position.
