Turn the [MIC] knob to adjust the input level of the external mics.
Adjust the loudness of the sound you’re recording. Since you’re not using the LINE/PHONO
input, turn the [LINE/PHONO] knob all the way to the left (off).
While producing the sound that you will actually be recording, turn the [MIC] knob to adjust
the input level.
Adjust the level so that the PEAK indicator located above the [MIC] knob lights briefly at the
loudest moments of the performance or vocal you’ll be recording.
* When using the [MIC] knob or [LINE/PHONO] knob, you might hear a slight noise when the
recording level changes; this does not indicate a malfunction.

* If sound from the speakers enters the mic, you won’t be able to adjust the level correctly. While
adjusting the level, either turn the [VOLUME] knob all the way down or turn the speakers off, so
no sound will be produced. Use headphones if you want to monitor the sound that’s being
recorded.

If the sound from the microphone distorted even though you’ve turned the [MIC] knob down,
you can decrease the external mic sensitivity. At the factory settings, the external mic
sensitivity is set to “High.” If the level meter does not move sufficiently, change this setting to
“Low.” For details, refer to the text box “Selecting the External Mic Sensitivity” on Page 47.
