Microphone Sensitivity

Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet recording needs.

While the recorder is stopped or during recording, slide the Mic Sense switch and select a microphone sensitivity among “LECTURE”,“CONF”, and “DICT”.

Every time the setting is switched, it cycles through the display's microphone sensitivities.

LECTURE( ): Highest recording sensitivity suitable for conferences with large crowds and recording audio at a distance or low volume.

CONF( ): Suitable for recording meetings and seminars with a small number of people.

DICT( ): Lowest recording sensitivity suitable for dictation.

Notes

When the speaker's voice is to be recorded clearly, set it to DICT (dictation) mode. If breath directly hits the microphone it will be noisy, so keep the microphone a little lower than the speaker's mouth (5 to 10cm/2 to 4 inches ) while recording.

If the ambient (background) noise is too loud to get a clear recording even in DICT (dictation) mode, we recommend that you use an ME12 Noise-Cancellation monaural microphone (sold separately. P159).
