PEAK REDUCTION
If the input sound is too loud, the input level
is automatically lowered to a suitable level.
This function makes handling dicult input
level settings easier.
You can still raise the input level manually.
AUTO LVL
Low input levels are raised and high input
levels are lowered automatically, making this
useful for recording meetings, for example.
In this mode, you cannot raise the input level
manually.
LIMITER
This prevents distortion if the input level
becomes too loud suddenly. This is useful
for live performances and other recordings
when extreme volume changes occur.
In this mode, you can still raise the input level
manually even when recording.
