Recording

Using Limiter or AGC

Use the [LIMITER] switch on the rear panel to switch the Limiter or AGC (Auto Gain Control) on/off. Normally, you can leave this off.

The Limiter is a function that compresses the recording level when the input sound becomes too loud, thus preventing distortion.

AGC increases the recording level if the input is low, and decreases the level if the input is too high, thus recording at a consistent level. This allows recording at a consistent volume during a meeting that might include people who are distant or nearby, and both loud voices and soft voices.

If you record an instrumental performance or music with Limiter/AGC turned on, the performance will be recorded with the natural

dynamics “flattened,” impairing the natural expressiveness of the music. If you want to record the sound with its natural dynamics intact, leave the Limiter/AGC turned off.

•You can’t adjust the recording level if AGC is on.

•You can’t use the rehearsal function if AGC is on.
