MS stereo format overview
This technique converts input from a directional mid mic, which
captures sound in the center, and a bidirectional side mic, which
captures sounds from the left and right, to stereo. You can change
the stereo width as you like by adjusting the side mic level.
Since this technique can capture a wide stereo image, it is
ideal for recording large open spaces with numerous sound
sources, including orchestras, live concerts and soundscapes.
This technique is also extremely effective when you want to
adjust room ambience. Since it offers a high degree of freedom,
it is used not only for studio recording but also for a wide range
of recording—even of rehearsals and live performances.
This function enables you to convert stereo microphone signals when using a mid-side recording configuration.
Press the MENU button for more
than 2 seconds, and start operation
from the top screen.
