NOTE

MS stereo format overview

This technique converts input from a directional mid mic, which

captures sound in the center, and a bidirectional side mic, which

captures sounds from the left and right, to stereo. You can change

the stereo width as you like by adjusting the side mic level.

Since this technique can capture a wide stereo image, it is

ideal for recording large open spaces with numerous sound

sources, including orchestras, live concerts and soundscapes.

This technique is also extremely effective when you want to
adjust room ambience. Since it offers a high degree of freedom,
it is used not only for studio recording but also for a wide range

of recording—even of rehearsals and live performances.

This function enables you to convert stereo microphone signals when using a mid-side recording configuration.

Press the MENU button for more

than 2 seconds, and start operation

from the top screen.
