Zoom Mic

The directional microphone function utilizes DiMAGIC’s (DiMAGIC Co., Ltd.) DiMAGIC Virtual Microphone (DVM) technology. DVM is an audio pickup system which allows you to record by focusing on sound from any direction. From expansive stereo recording to high directivity recording, DVM represents the latest in directional control methods that allow you to switch to a single exclusive microphone.

Recording with monaural, however you can record high directivity sound.

[Narrow]:

Recording by a directivity stereo sound.

[Wide]:

Low Cut Filter

The recorder has a Low Cut Filter function to minimize low-frequency sounds and record voices more clearly. This function can reduce noise from air conditioners, projectors and other similar noises.

[On]: Enables the Low Cut Filter function.

[Off]: Disables this function.

VCVA

When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset threshold volume level, the built-in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops when the volume drops below the threshold level. The VCVA feature extends recording time and conserves memory by stopping recording during silent periods, which helps the playback to be more efficient.

[On]: Enables the VCVA function. Will start recording in VCVA mode.

[Off]: Disables this function. Will resume recording in normal mode.

Adjust the start/stop actuation level:

1Press the RECs button to start recording.

•When the sound volume is lower than the preset threshold sound level, recording automatically stops after

1 sec approximately, and [Standby] flashes on the display. The recording indicator light glows when recording starts and flashes when recording pauses.
