Line-in recording
If you don’t want to use your device’s built-in
microphones, you can also record via an external
recording channel. Simply connect an external
microphone or an audio equipment’s audio output, such
as the audio output of a radio, CD player, or DVD player,
to your Voice Tracer by using a stereo audio cable.
Note
• When you connect an external recording channel
to your Voice Tracer, the built-in microphones are
disabled. However, you can activate multichannel
recording as described in Multichannel recording.
• The plug of the audio cable must be a stereo plug.
• Before you start line-in recording, adjust the volume
of the sound source to a suitable level. Too low or
too high volume levels might result in poor recording
quality.

in jack of your Voice Tracer and to the line-out jack of
your external recording channel.
