Before recording

microphone, built-in monaural microphone, and exclusive remote control (provided with the

DS-50 only). Choose a recording method according to your need.

Stereo recording using the exclusive stereo microphone

Plug the exclusive stereo microphone into the recorder's MIC/ REMOTE jack for stereo recording in ST XQ and ST HQ modes and monaural recording in HQ, SP, and LP modes.

Connect the exclusive stereo microphone to the recorder's MIC/REMOTE jack.

Monaural recording with the built-in microphone

Even if the exclusive stereo microphone is unplugged, recordings can be still made using the recorder's built-in microphone.

Unplug the exclusive stereo microphone from the recorder.

Notes

•If a recording is made in ST XQ and ST HQ modes while the exclusive stereo microphone is unplugged, it will be a monaural recording through the built-in microphone, and same audio will be recorded on both Left channel (Lch) and Right channel (Rch).

• Stop the recorder before plugging in or unplugging a microphone.
