XLR SET
INPUT1 TRIM
–18dB to +12dB ( 0dB )
Adjusts the input signal level when recording
the signal from the INPUT1 jack or INPUT2
jack.
• If the recording level is set to “AUTO” and
INPUT TRIM is set to [0dB], a –48 dBu
input will be recorded at the reference
recording level (–48 dBu corresponds to 0 dB
level).
For example, if a microphone with –30 dB
sensitivity (0 dB = 1 V/Pa at 1 kHz) is
connected and a 1 kHz 74 dB SPL sound
pressure level is input (microphone output is
–48 dBu), set INPUT TRIM to [0dB].
If using a microphone with –36 dB
sensitivity, setting INPUT TRIM to [+6dB]
will compensate for the difference in
sensitivity from a microphone with –30 dB
sensitivity.
• The INPUT TRIM function adjusts the input
level of external microphones. For
microphones with high sensitivity or to
record high-level audio, adjust in the negative
direction. For microphones with low
sensitivity or to record low-level audio,
adjust in the positive direction.
• Distortion of high-volume audio may occur
in the input stage or the recording stage. To
counter distortion of the input stage, adjust
the level using the INPUT TRIM function.
To counter distortion in the recording stage,
reduce the overall level manually.
• If the INPUT TRIM is adjusted in the
negative direction too far, the audio level
from the microphone may become too small,
adversely affecting the S/N ratio.
• This setting is disabled when the INPUT1
switch or INPUT2 switch is set to LINE.
INPUT2 TRIM
