Set this to ON when recording with a lavalier mic connected to this unit without a transmitter connected. When set
to ON, this unit will provide a mic bias of about 2 V.
LOW CUT Low cut filter OFF/ON Turns the mic input low-cut filter on or off. The cutoff frequency is 120 Hz.

simultaneously record at a slightly lower input level (−6 dB) for security. Two recorded files (one with higher input
level and one with lower input level) are saved individually.

Dual recording will create two files simultaneously.
The name of the second file created by dual recording has “_D” added to the file name of the ordinary recording.
