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.
[Zoom]:
Recording with monaural, however you
can record high directivity sound.
[Narrow]:
Recording by a directivity stereo sound.
[Wide]:
Recording by an expansive stereo sound.
[Off]:
Disables this function.
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:
1 Press 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.
