Using the dynamics function
By turning the dynamics function on, you can apply this unit's
limiter or compressor to recording sources and prevent input
signal levels from overloading during recording.
1. Select DYNAMICS on the REC 2 page to open the DYNAMICS
screen.(see “Menu operation procedures” on page 22)
2. Set the input signal dynamics function.
Option Meaning
OFF (default) Do not use the dynamics function.
LIMITER
This applies the limiter.
This suppresses distortion of sound due to
sudden excessive input.
COMP_SOFT This applies light compression.
This setting is good for music.
COMP_HARD
This applies heavy compression.
This setting is good for recording meetings
and similar situations.
NOTE
i When the dynamics function is on, the , or
icon appears in the recording function activation
status area on the recording screen.
i Distortion of sounds may occur when signals that are very
loud are input even when the limiter is activated. In such a
case, lower the recording level or increase the distance be-
tween the mic and the sound source.
i Compressors are effects that suppress peak sounds and make
audio easier to hear overall by raising and lowering levels for
a more even volume.
i When REC SET LINK is set to OFF on the REC 1 page, the levels
of the left and right channel inputs are adjusted separately. In
this case, the left channel setting will be shown on the Home
Screen when recording or in recording standby. If the left
channel setting is OFF, but the right channel setting is not OFF,
however, the right channel setting will be shown on the Home
Screen.(see “Setting left/right channel inputs separately” on
page 53)
3. Confirm the setting and return to the Menu Screen.
Setting the low-cut filter

wind, air-conditioners and projectors.
1. Select LOW CUT on the REC 2 page to open the LOW CUT
screen.(see “Menu operation procedures” on page 22)
2. Set the cutoff frequency of the low-cut filter used during
input.
Options: OFF (default), 40Hz, 80Hz, 120Hz, 180Hz, 220Hz
NOTE
i When the low-cut filter function is on, the icon appears in
the recording function activation status area on the recording
screen.
i When REC SET LINK is set to OFF on the REC 1 page, the levels
of the left and right channel inputs are adjusted separately.
3. Confirm the setting and return to the Menu Screen.
