Applicable external microphones

These are highly sensitive omni-
directional microphones supported by
plug-in power which are well-suited to
recording musical performances.

monaural microphone (unidirectional):
ME52W
This microphone is used to record
sound at a distance while minimizing
surrounding noise.
Compact Gun Microphone

The directional microphones are useful
for recordings such as outdoor recording
of wild birds singing. The metal-cut

Notes
• Use the connecting cord sold separately
for dubbing (KA333) to connect the
recorder with other devices.
• The detailed input levels cannot be
adjusted with this recorder. When you
connect the recorder to an external
device, execute a test recording and adjust
the output level of the external device.
• The built-in microphone will become
inoperable when an external microphone
is plugged into the recorder’s MIC jack.
• Microphones supported by plug-in power
can also be used.
• When an external monaural microphone
is used while [Rec Mode] is set to a stereo
recording mode, it enables recording only
with the L channel microphone (☞ P.47).
