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 background noise is affecting your recording even in [DICT] (dictation) mode, we recommend that you either set the directional microphone (☞ P36) to [Zoom] or [Narrow] or use an ME12 dictation microphone (sold separately, ☞ P167).
