other items affect both the built-in microphone and

MIC IN.

GAIN

Set the input sensitivity as HIGH, MID, or LOW. The factory default setting is MID. Change it to HIGH if the input level is too low.

TYPE

Select STEREO or MONO according to the type of connected microphone. The factory setting is STEREO. If you select MONO, a mixed signal of the left and right input signals is provided to the left and right channels respectively.

POWER

When connecting an external microphone that requires plug-in power set this to ON. The factory default is OFF.

CAUTION

Set this to OFF when using the built-in mic or connecting a dynamic microphone or microphone with a built-in battery. If set to ON, the

8–Recording

plug-in power may damage such microphones.

LOW CUT

The factory default setting of the low cut filter is OFF, but you can also select 40HZ, 80Hz or 120Hz as the cut-off frequency for a low cut filter.

TIP

Try using one of the low cut filter settings when recording outdoors or another place where the unwanted sound of wind is being recorded.

LEVEL CTRL

Use this to set the level control function.

Set it to AUTO to have the DR-07 automatically adjust the input gain according to the input level. Loud sounds and quiet sounds are both adjusted to the same level.

Set it to LMT to have the DR-07 automatically limit the input gain so that input level of loud sounds are reduced to prevent distortion.

The factory default setting is OFF.
