Using the Variable Control Voice

Actuator (VCVA)

When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset volume, the built- in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops it when the volume drops.

Particularly helpful for extended recording, the VCVA not only conserves memory by turning off recording during silent periods, but also makes playback more efficient and convenient.
