Pcm

8.There are two suggested recording modes PCM and HiSP, PCM is the highest quality mode. A 1GB disk will hold 92 minutes at the PCM quality and 8 hours at the HiSP quality. An older, smaller MD disk will hold 38 minutes of PCM quality and 74 minutes of HiSP quality.

a)To Set Record Mode to PCM. Press and hold the Navi/Menu button for 2 seconds until the menu window activates. Rotate Jog Wheel until "REC Set" is blinking and press Enter. Select “Rec Mode” and then “PCM.”

b)To Set Record Mode to HiSP. Press and hold the Navi/Menu button for 2 seconds until the menu window activates. Rotate Jog Wheel until "REC Set" is blinking and press Enter. Select “Rec Mode” and then “HiSP” Do not use the HiLP mode unless you purposely want poorer quality.

8.Look at the Menu window. The Record Mode should show “Hi-MD” and either “PCM” or HiSP. If the window shows “MD” or SP, re-do the above steps, 6-8.

Hi-MD

10.Install a fresh, alkaline, 9 volt battery into the Rode NT-4 mic by un- screwing the lower section of the body and sliding the battery into the cavity (terminals first). Check for correct polarity (+ to + and – to –). Secure the battery in place with the flexible spring clip and screw the sections back together.

11.Slip the mic back into the shock mount and attach the fake fur jacket. The Rode NT-4 mic is very sensitive to hand-holding and the slightest amount of wind. Unless you are mounting it on a mic stand indoors, the results are likely to be disappointing without a shock mount/zepplin. If your mic doesn’t not have a shockmount/zepplin, consider making one yourself. Here are some pictures of the shock- mounts with car wqash mitt zeppelins we made in October 2005 for the 420 Field Audio Class:
