Manual Audio Level Adjustment

You can set the audio level for each channel manually from -fto 18 dB.

1 Set the audio level switch of the desired channel to M.

2Turn the corresponding audio level dial to adjust the audio level.

•For reference, the 0 corresponds to -f, 5 corresponds to 0 dB, and 10 corresponds to +18 dB.

•As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the audio level meter will go to the right of the -18 dB mark (one mark right of the -20 dB mark) only occasionally.

•You can activate the audio peak limiter to prevent audio distortions. When activated, the audio peak limiter will limit the amplitude of audio

input signals when they exceed -4 dBFS. Use the [mAudio Setup]

[Audio Input] [Limiter] setting. The audio peak limiter can be activated if at least one of the channels is set to manual audio level adjustment.

•We recommend using headphones when adjusting the audio level. If the input level is too high, audio may become distorted even if the audio level indicator shows an appropriate level.

Monitoring the Audio with Headphones

Connect headphones to the W(headphone) terminal to monitor the recorded audio. You can use the [mAudio Setup] [Audio Output] [Headphone Volume] setting to adjust the volume. Alternatively, you can use the CUSTOM dial (047).

NOTES

• When you are monitoring the audio, you can choose to synchronize the audio signal with the video signal or monitor the audio in real time. Use the [mAudio Setup] [Audio Output] [Monitor Delay] setting to select the method. Note that there will be a slight delay when you monitor in real time. Regardless of the setting, however, the audio and video signals recorded will be synchronized.
