About sound that might be recorded as noise
Sounds that cause noise
The IC recorder may record various sounds other than voice, and the sounds will be heard as noise.
Sounds that occur when you touch the IC recorder (touch noise)
Rustling sounds of your clothes (when putting the IC recorder in your pocket)
Vibration sounds (when putting the IC recorder on a desk or a piano, etc.)
Noise from air conditioner, projector, PC, etc.
Extra ambient sounds (when recording a lecture or a lesson)
Breath hitting the microphone when recording near your mouth (pop noise)
Noise caused when recording in long play recording mode (“LP” mode, etc.)
To reduce the recording noise
Touch noises may be recorded when you touch the IC recorder during recording. Try to avoid touching the IC
recorder until the recording ends.
Move the IC recorder far from the sound source, or eliminate the noise.
Select the best recording mode according to the situation. We recommend you to set the recording mode to
the high-quality mode (“HQ” mode, “SHQ” mode, etc.) when you are concerned about ambient noise.
Select the best microphone sensitivity according to the situation. Please try to lower the setting of the
microphone sensitivity when the ambient sounds become noise and it is not easy to hear the target sound.
For details about the settings of the recording mode and the microphone sensitivity installed on the IC recorder,
refer to the supplied operating instructions.
