Tip for using INPUT1 TRIM/INPUT2
TRIM
The INPUT TRIM function adjusts the input level
from an external microphone. When using a highly
sensitive microphone or recording loud sound, set
this to the minus side. When using a less sensitive
microphone or recording quiet sound, set it to the
plus side.
When recording loud sound, the sound may be
distorted at either the input point or the recording
point. If it is distorted at the input point, adjust the
sound using the INPUT TRIM function. If it is
distorted at the recording point, lower the total
volume level manually.
If you set INPUT TRIM too far to the minus side, the
microphone volume becomes too low, resulting in a
poor signal to noise ratio.
Test the effect of the INPUT TRIM function
according to the microphone used or the sound field
of the recording site before actual recording.
