Available Sensitivity Levels

Activating the Microphone’s Attenuator

You can activate the microphone’s attenuator (20 dB) if the XLR terminal
switch is set to MIC or MIC+48V.

1 Open the desired XLR terminal’s microphone attenuator submenu.

[¡ Audio Setup] > [Audio Input] > [XLR1 Mic Att.] or
[XLR2 Mic Att.]

2 Select [On] and then press SET.

Adjusting the Audio Level from the MIC Terminal

You can adjust the audio recording level of a microphone attached to the
MIC terminal to auto or manual. You can set the audio level manually
within a range of 0 to 99.

1 Open the [MIC Mode] submenu.

[¡ Audio Setup] > [Audio Input] > [MIC Mode]

2 Select [Automatic] or [Manual] and then press SET.

• If you selected [Automatic], you do not need to perform the rest of the

procedure. If you selected [Manual], continue the procedure to set the
microphone’s audio recording level.

3 Open the [MIC Level] submenu.

[¡ Audio Setup] > [Audio Input] > [MIC Level]

4 Use the joystick (Ý) or SELECT dial to set the audio recording

level and then press SET.

• As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the audio level

meter on the screen or rear panel will go to the right of the 18 dB
mark (one mark right of the 20 dB mark) only occasionally.

NOTES

• When adjusting the audio level manually, you can activate the audio peak limiter with the [¡ Audio Setup] >

[Audio Input] > [Limiter] setting. When activated, the audio peak limiter will limit the amplitude of audio input
signals when they exceed -6 dBFS.

• We recommend using headphones when adjusting the audio level. If the input level is too high, audio may

become distorted even if the audio level indicator shows an appropriate level.

• If you set an assignable button to [Audio Level] (A 111), you can press the button to turn the onscreen audio

level indicator on and off.
