To adjust the recording level

When recording with a reference level

Press the AUDIO REC/PB LEVEL adjustment control, so that the PRESET indicator lights. The audio signal is recorded at the preset reference level (shown as reference 0 dB for an input of +4 dBm).

To record with manual adjustment

For each channel, press the AUDIO REC/PB LEVEL adjustment control, so that the PRESET indicator goes off, then adjust so that the average sound level produces an indication on the level meter close to the 0 dB reference.

Changing the display range of the audio level meters

By pressing the FULL/FINE button, you can switch the audio level meter display range.

FULL display mode:

the meter display range is -60 dB to 0 dB or -40 dB to +20 dB.

FINE display mode:

the meter display is enlarged, and a reference marker lights in the center of the meter, with the display in 0.25 dB steps.

To select the display range in the FULL mode, use Expansion menu item 802. See Section 3-4-3, “Contents of the Expansion Menu” (page 3-26).

Using the emphasis function

To record audio signals input to the ANALOG AUDIO INPUT connectors of the BKMA-570 (optional), you can use the emphasis function.

To activate the emphasis function, set EMPHASIS ON in the Expansion menu (883 and 884).

For details of the Expansion menu, see Section 3-4-3, “Contents of the Expansion Menu” (page 3-26).

On playback, for a signal to which emphasis has been applied, regardless of the setting of the EMPHASIS switch, de-emphasis processing is automatically applied. Further, when recording digital audio signals (SDI or AES/EBU), emphasis is set automatically according to the input signal emphasis information. With this unit, this information cannot be changed.
