Setting the digital input
Using a digital audio cable, you can connect the output
of digital audio equipment, such as a CD player’s digital
connector, using the included digital conversion cable to
the REMOTE/DIGITAL IN jack on the left side panel.
Digital conversion cable (included)
Digital mixer,
Digital recorder,
Digital amplifier, etc.
When the
FUNCTION
item is set to
DIGI IN
on the
REMOTE/
DIGI IN
setting screen, you can record the digital output
from external digital audio equipment. (See “Using digital
input” on page 52.)
Making analog input settings
You can make settings related to the various functions
available when using mic inputs.
When you record a single external XLR mic, for example,
you can record its signal to both the left and right channels.
1 Press the MENU button to open the
MENU
screen.
2 Use the wheel to select the
INPUT SETTING
menu,
and press the ENTER/MARK button to open the
INPUT SETTING
screen.
3 Turn the wheel to open the following screen.
This screen has the following mic input settings. Use
the . and / buttons as well as the wheel to set
the items.
TYPE:
Set this to
STEREO
(default) or
MONO
as appropriate for
the connected mic or mics. When set to
MONO
, the same
signal will be sent to both left and right channels.
LOW CUT:
Use this to set the cutoff frequency of the low-cut filter
used on the mic inputs to
40Hz
,
80Hz
or
120Hz
. The
default value is
OFF
.
LEVEL CTRL:
Set the recording level control function used on the mic
inputs. The default value is
LMT
. (See “Using the level
control function” on page 32.)
When set to
LMT
(limiter), the input gain will be adjusted
automatically according to the analog input level, so
that the recording level will not be distorted even if the
input signal is very loud.
When set to
AUTO
(auto gain control), the gain is
automatically adjusted to make the volume as even as
possible. The gain increases for low-level input signals,
and the gain decreases for high-level input signals.
NOTE
When the input is LINE 1/2, regardless of the • TYPE
setting, the inputs will always be treated as
STEREO
.
When the input is LINE 1/2, regardless of the • LOW CUT
setting, this function will always be
OFF
.
When the • LEVEL CTRL
setting is
AUTO
, the volume
will be automatically adjusted, so the INPUT knob is
disabled.
When the input is LINE 1/2, regardless of the
• LEVEL
CTRL
setting, it will always function as
LMT
(limiter).
When • TYPE
is set to
MONO
, the recording will not be a
mono file. Rather, it will be a stereo file with the same
signal recorded on both left and right channels.
CAUTION
When recording with microphones, use headphones for
monitoring. If you use speakers for monitoring, the sound
output from the speakers will also be input resulting in
poor recording quality and possibly noisy feedback.
TIP
If noise from air conditioning or wind during an outdoor •
performance, for example, is being input, try setting the
LOW CUT
item to any value other than
OFF
.
During live performances and at other times when •
unexpected loud noises are input, set the
LEVEL CTRL
item to
LMT
to prevent overloads and allow recording
without distortion.
