Screen.
CAUTION
Set the POWER item to OFF when using the built-in mic •
or connecting a dynamic microphone or microphone with
a built-in battery. If set to ON, the plug-in power may
damage such microphones.
Use headphones to monitor when you are recording with
•
a microphone. If you use speakers to monitor, the sound
output from the speakers may also be recorded, causing a
poor recording and even feedback.
NOTE
Try using one of the low cut filter settings when recording •
outdoors or another place where the unwanted sound of
wind is being recorded.
When recording live performances and in other situations •
where unexpected loud sounds might occur, set this
function to LMT to prevent input clipping and allow
recording without distortion.
TIP
Use the DR-2d’s built-in effects as necessary on the input
source. (See “Using the Effects” on page 68.)
Placing the unit and making connections
Recording with the built-in mics
Point the mics at the sound source and place the unit in a stable
