Setting the Auto Level Control (MIC ALC)
About Auto Level Control (MIC ALC)
Auto Level Control is a function that automatically maintains the recording volume
close to a specified level during recording under various recording environments. The

play at a comfortable level, with no clipping noise or distortion.
