Application guide

These basic settings are used for recording birdsongs or similar outdoor sounds. Since batteries are required
for outdoor use, these settings take power conservation into account.

Recording birdsongs outdoors

Phantom power switch

Input Select

Analog

By lowering the sampling frequency (Rec Freq.) and
limiting the number of tracks, you can minimize the
size of the file to be written. These settings also re-
duce the number of time the hard disk is accessed,
thereby conserving power.

Rec Freq.

44.1 kHz

Rec Bit

16 bit

Rec Mode

STEREOx1,
MONOx1

Set to match the mics that are connected.

Pre Recording

4 Sec

The pre-recording setting lets you press the record
button when you hear birdsong; sounds that oc-
curred several seconds earlier is captured retroactive-
ly. When recording birdsong, four seconds is
sufficient. In comparison to allowing recording to
continue, this method minimizes the number of ac-
cesses to the internal hard disk.
However, with any pre-recording setting other than
OFF, recording always continues internally.

Project Name

Date

Using the Date setting will make it easy to tell the
date and time that the recording was made.

BackLight Timer

5 sec

Battery Type

Set to the type of batteries you’ve installed
