OMNI MICS
Set the INPUT switch to OMNI.
These mics are suitable for recording meetings
and other situations where you want to record
everything in a wide space.
Place the unit in a stable location where there is
little vibration.
NOTE
If noise is caused by air-conditioning or a draft, for
example, use the unit’s low-cut filter. (See “Using the
low cut filter (LOW CUT)” on page 41.)
Recording with external mics (XLR)
Set the INPUT switch to XLR.
Connect an external XLR mic to the XLR MIC IN
connector.
When only one mic is connected, it is possible
to record the same signal on both left and right
channels. (See “Setting mono input (TYPE)” on
page 41.)
When using a condenser mic that requires
phantom power, set the +48V switch to ON.
NOTE
The XLR connector pins are as follows.
1: Ground, 2: Hot, 3: Cold
CAUTION
Do not connect or disconnect mics when the 48V •
switch is ON.
Connecting a dynamic mic or other mic that does •
not require phantom power when the +48V switch
is on could damage it. Please refer to the manual
for the mic for details.
Since using phantom power reduces the amount •
of time the unit can operate on battery power, we
recommend using an AC adapter (sold separately).
Since some mics drain alkaline batteries extremely •
quickly, we recommend using the included BP-L2
lithium ion battery when operating on battery
power. The amount of time that the unit can
operate on battery power varies greatly according
to the type of mic used. See the mic manual or
documentation for additional information.
Recording an external device (LINE)
Set the INPUT switch to LINE.
Use a stereo miniplug cable to connect to the
output of an external audio device.
Other audio equipment or
external sound source
Set where to save the file

on page 38.)
