Chapter 1Overview of RecorderEN11

Main Features1Main FeaturesEN12▌ High performance directional stereo microphone and quality amplifier circuitThe newly designed stereo condenser microphone enables you to record live quality sound. Our devotionto circuit design has realized separation of audio and system boards and independent power suppliesto each board, and consequently, achieves a low noise and a high S/N ratio. Supporting the minimumfrequency characteristic of 20 Hz, this recorder can reproduce the low frequency band much better thanconventional models. In addition, the design, which is highly resistant to sound pressure, with the upperlimit of 140dBSPL, enables you to record loud rock music without sound distortion.▌ Linear PCM 96kHz/24bit recordingThe supported recording format is the linear PCM format with a sampling rate of 96 kHz and a bit count of24 bits. High-resolution recording superior to music CD (44.1kHz/16bit) has been realized.▌ Multi-Track recording and editingThe Multi-Track recording mode allows you to separately record instruments and voice and then editand overlay each track. Up to eight tracks can be edited and played at the same time. You can also easilycreate music tunes.▌ XLR (24V/48V phantom power supply support)/ Standard phone combo jackXLR (24V/48V phantom power supply support)/ Standard phone combo jackStandard combo jack combined with a XLR external phone connector with phantom power supply support.Phantom power can be deactivated and is capable of operating at both 24V and 48V, and designedto reduce noise also when using extension cables.▌ Support for a variety of recording formatsThis recorder supports overdubbing, synchronization (playing and recording at the same time) and voicesynchronization recording in addition to the normal mode (usual recording). You can use this recorder ina wide range of applications such as field recording or when practicing an instrument.▌ Tuner functionThis recorder has a mode that supports tuning of guitar and bass guitar in addition to the basic chromatictuner. The reference tone “A” can be fine-tuned using the calibration function.▌ Metronome functionThe metronome can be used as a rhythm guide during recording or when practicing an instrument.▌ Lissajous measurement functionThis function detects the phase difference between the right and left microphones and the sound source.You can fine-tune their position and angle by checking the Lissajous waveform shown on the display.▌ Key shift to change octaveThe octave of the sound source recorded in the Multi-Track Mode can be adjusted with the key shiftfunction.▌ Audio CD output functionBy connecting an external USB CD drive and the recorder, you can directly write recorded files into a CD.▌ MP3 conversion functionThe recorded PCM (WAV) data can be converted into an MP3 file in the recorder. This enables you tomanage data in the easy-to-use format when writing it into a CD or attaching it to email.

About the Lissajous measurementIn facilities for sound recording (such as broadcasting studios), the distance between a microphoneand a sound source is automatically measured from the phase difference. The Lissajous waveformhelps you obtain the optimal positioning of a dynamic microphone or a condenser microphone.▌What is a phase difference?A slight difference between two sound waves iscalled a phase difference. The sound is equallyfed into the left/right sides of the microphone if itis directly in front of the sound source. However,a slight time difference is produced betweenthe left and right channels if the sound source isslightly off either to the left side or right side of the microphone.Use the lissajous measurement to perform optimal sound recording.This function operates in accordance with the settings set in [Input Select].Connect an amplifier to the recorder1before starting to measure.2 [Home] { [Lissajous]When using a dynamic microphone orcondenser microphoneLRA phase differenceof 90 degrees5About the Lissajous measurementLoud amplifierLoud amplifierLoud speakerLoud speakerThe flow of the reference signalEAR jackXLR/standard phone combo jackEN69

GlossaryGlossarySampling frequency (samplingrate) [Hz/kHz]Quantization bits [bit depth][bit]Bit rate [kbps]Linear PCM formatDescriptionThe rate or frequency at which an analogue signal is analyzed to determineacoustic delicacies. The higher sampling frequency produces less difference inforward/backward sounds.The number of quantization bits helps determine how much data is requiredto save a record when digitizing analog signals (such as voice).A Bit Rate indicates how many data bits are transmitted per second.A 128 kbpsfile, for example, uses 128 kbits per second to encode data. The smaller the bit rateyou select, the worse the quality, and the smaller the size it will output. The soundquality varies depending on digital audio compression algorithms (such as MP3),even if the bit rates are the same.Even if the bit rates are the same, sound qualityvaries depending on the digital audio compression algorithm (such as MP3).A linear PCM format is used so that no data gets lost due to compression andoriginal sound stays intact.This format is used for music CDs (CD-DA).8GlossaryMP3 formatMemory (media)EncodingThis is one of the most popular digital audio compression algorithms. It achieves acompression factor of about twelve while preserving sound quality.This is a storage system that does not lose the data stored on it even when thepower is removed. In this manual, it refers to the built-in flash memory and the SDcard.Encoding is a process in which the information obtained from a source isconverted into data according to certain rules. Or it is a process in which data isconverted from one format to another (such as audio compression) according tocertain rules.EN130
