Activating the Microphone’s Attenuator
You can activate the microphone’s attenuator (20 dB) if the XLR terminal
switch is set to MIC or MIC+48V.
1 Open the desired XLR terminal’s microphone attenuator submenu.
[¡ Audio Setup] > [Audio Input] > [XLR1 Mic Att.] or [XLR2 Mic
Att.]
2 Select [On] and then press SET.
Adjusting the Audio Level from the MIC Terminal
You can adjust the audio recording level of a microphone attached to the
MIC terminal to auto or manual. You can set the audio level manually
within a range of 0 to 99.
1 Open the [MIC Mode] submenu.
[¡ Audio Setup] > [Audio Input] > [MIC Mode]
2 Select [Automatic] or [Manual] and then press SET.
• If you selected [Automatic], you do not need to perform the rest of the
procedure. If you selected [Manual], continue the procedure to set the
microphone’s audio recording level.
3 Open the [MIC Level] submenu.
[¡ Audio Setup] > [Audio Input] > [MIC Level]
4 Use the joystick (Ý) or SELECT dial to set the audio recording
level and then press SET.
• As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the audio level
meter on the screen or rear panel will go to the right of the 18 dB
mark only occasionally.
NOTES
• When adjusting the audio level manually, you can activate the audio peak limiter with the [¡ Audio Setup] >
[Audio Input] > [Limiter] setting. When activated, the audio peak limiter will limit the amplitude of audio input
signals when they exceed -4 dBFS.
• We recommend using headphones when adjusting the audio level. If the input level is too high, audio may
become distorted even if the audio level indicator shows an appropriate level.
• If you set an assignable button to [Audio Level] (A 99), you can press the button to turn the onscreen audio
level indicator on and off.
