Setting the format of Ambisonic Mode (continued)
HINT
• Ambisonic Mode can be set during use as an audio interface
(Multi Track).
• Even when the format of Ambisonic Mode is Off, you can press
track
to monitor their input sounds. When PFL mode is
set to PFL, you can monitor sounds before they are converted
to ambisonics B-format. When PFL mode is set to SOLO, you
can monitor sounds after they are converted to ambisonics
B-format.
• The input enabled/disabled statuses of the Ambisonic Mode
input tracks are linked, so the settings of all assigned tracks can
be switched simultaneously by pressing any of their track keys.
• The following parameters that can be set on the PFL screen are
linked for input tracks using Ambisonic Mode.
— HPF
— Input Limiter
— Phantom
— Fader
— PFL Mode
— Input Source
— Input Level
NOTE
• The sampling rate can only be set to 192 kHz when the format of
Ambisonic Mode is Off.
• Ambisonic files are saved as 4-channel polyphonic files, not as
mono or stereo files.
• A ZOOM mic capsule can only be used when the format of Ambi-
sonic Mode is Off.
• The following parameters cannot be set for tracks using Ambi-
sonic Mode input.
— Pan
— Phase Invert
— Side Mic Level
— Input Delay
— Stereo Link
— Stereo Link Mode
— Dual Channel Rec
— Trim Link
• Files recorded when the format of Ambisonic Mode is not Off
will play back as ambisonic audio sources rather than ordinary
4-channel polyphonic files. For this reason, these tracks cannot
the panned or muted during playback.
• When the sampling rate is set to 44.1–48.048 kHz and Ambi-
sonic Mode is not set to Off, the
latency will increase 2 ms.
When monitoring sounds being recorded with a mic in real-time,
increased latency can cause interference between sound trans-
mitted through the air from the source and the delayed moni-
tored sound, possibly making accurate monitoring of the sounds
difficult.
• This cannot be used with the Auto Mix function.
