Recording
To reduce noise in the recording
Sounds that may be recorded as noise
The linear PCM recorder may record various
sounds in addition to the target sound. Noises
that may be recorded include:
 A rustling noise that may be caused when
you touch the linear PCM recorder
 Breath that hits the microphones of the
linear PCM recorder
 Sound that may be caused when you touch
a table
 Buzzing or humming noises from air-
conditioners, projectors, or computers
To reduce noise, do not touch the linear PCM
recorder during recording. Also, do not make
the kinds of sounds mentioned above that
may be recorded as noise.
To position the linear PCM recorder
using a tripod (not supplied)
By attaching an optional tripod to the hole on
the back of the linear PCM recorder, you can
adjust the angles of the linear PCM recorder
and the microphones more precisely. This also
prevents noise caused when holding the linear
PCM recorder in your hand.
To use the supplied wind screen
By fitting the wind screen to the built-in
microphones, you can reduce noise caused
by wind or breath that hits the microphones
directly.
Be sure to set the wind screen so that the
peak level lamps are covered.

caused by air from the projector air vents,
