MICROPHONE AHENUATOR SWITCH
This switch is used to change the microphone in
put level.
In most cases h should be set to
OdB, a position in which it locks.
It should be
set to - 20dB in the following situations:
1, When recording outdoors or in noisy areas.
2. When recording a sound, such as that of a jet
engine which is so loud that it is impossible to
reduce the input level by adjusting the volume
control dial alone.
To set the switch at this position, push it down
while
pressing
the
microphone
attenuator
lock
button. To return it to the 0 dB position, simply
push it back up. This switch is usable at any
recording
mode

or

switch
position but is most effective when used in con
nection with the volume control dial with recor
ding mode dial at the MANUAL position. It has
no effect on recording done from an auxiliary in
put.
