Using the Built-in Mics

If you want to use headphones to hear the sound while you’re recording it, you’ll need to make settings for monitoring while recording.

“Settings for the R-05” (p. 89)

L R

The built-in mics are stereo. The mic on the right side of the R-05 will record the right (R) channel, and the mic on the left side will record the left (L) channel.

•To avoid acoustic feedback (a whine or howling sound), do not connect external speakers when you’re recording via a mic.

•The built-in mics cannot be used if a mic or device is connected to the MIC jack or LINE IN jack. If you want to use the built-in mics, don’t connect anything to the MIC jack or LINE IN jack.

Using an External Mic

Stereo mic

L R

A dynamic mic or a condenser mic of the type designed for connection to a computer’s mic jack can be used with the R-05.

•The input from the MIC jack will be ignored if a device or cable is connected to the LINE IN jack. Don’t connect anything to the LINE IN jack if you’re using an external mic.
