Notes
• When the speaker's voice is to be recorded clearly, set it to DICT (dictation) mode. If breath directly hits
the microphone it will be noisy, so keep the microphone a little lower than the speaker's mouth (5 to
10cm/2 to 4 inches) while recording.
• If the ambient (background) noise is too loud to get a clear recording even in DICT (dictation) mode, we
recommend that you use an ME12 Noise-Cancellation monaural microphone. (sold separately. ☞P84)
While the recorder is stopped or
during recording, slide the Mic
Sense switch and select a
microphone sensitivity among
“LECTURE”, “CONF”, and “DICT”.
Every time the setting is switched, it
cycles through the display's microphone
sensitivities.
LECTURE( ): Highest recording sensitivity
suitable for conferences with large crowds
and recording audio at a distance or low
volume.
CONF(
): Suitable for recording
meetings and seminars with a small
number of people.
DICT(
): Lowest recording sensitivity
suitable for dictation.
