4 – Recording
In addition to using the built-in microphone, you can record
using an external microphone or record the output signal
from a mixer or other audio source. You can select among MP3
(44.1/48 kHz, 32–320 kbps) and WAV/BWF (44.1/48/96 kHz,
16/24-bit) audio recording formats.
Marks added when recording to Broadcast Wave Format
(BWF) can be used with software that supports this format, for
example.
This recorder has five recording modes. Using the overdubbing
function, you can mix input signals with an audio file that is
played back and record either the combined signals or just
the input signal as a new file. With dual recording you can
simultaneously record the same input signals at two different
levels. You can also use external mics with the built-in mics for
4-channel recording.

sound quality as the standard WAV format. It also uses the
same “.wav” file extension as WAV files. In this manual, we
distinguish these file types by using the terms BWF and
WAV.
