Situation
Setting the mic gain
for optimum performance
Bands are louder than normal everyday sounds.
Set the mic gain in the back of the R-09 to LOW.
Set to HIGH for quieter sounds
Set to LOW for louder sounds
The R-09 allows you to set the basic mic gain in
order to utilize its microphone’s features to their
fullest. By setting this rst, the gain is optimized,
the recording level is easier to adjust, and, of
course, the result is a better recording.
Optimizing
recording levels
Before recording the band, nd where the loud-
est sound occurs. Adjust the recording level so
that the R-09 level meter reaches its highest level
without the PEAK indicator, shown in red below,
turning on.
Adjust so the PEAK
indicator light does
not turn on when the
loudest sound occurs
Although this process may take some eort,
there are great benets to be gained by doing it.
If the level is set too low, the entire recording will
be recorded at a low volume; if the sound level
is set too high, then the sound will be “clipped,”
with pops and snaps.
See p. 37 in the Owner’s Manual for setting the
recording level.
