*1 Movies recorded with 24-bit audio may not be played back normally on devices or software incompatible with 24-bit audio, resulting in unexpectedly loud volumes or no sound.

*2 Acquired by setting the AUTO/MAN switch and the ATT switch to “AUTO” and “10dB,” respectively.

*3 Acquired by setting the DIGITAL/ANALOG switch to “DIGITAL.”

*4 Acquired by setting the directivity mode dial to (Ultra-directional).

*5 Equivalent sound pressure level value converted from the average value of the noise that is output from the microphone when a wind velocity of 2 m/sec. is applied. (0 dB = 2×10 -5 Pa)

*6 Equivalent sound pressure level value converted from the input level value that is acquired when 1% waveform distortion is produced by 1 kHz output signals from the microphone. (0 dB = 2×10 -5 Pa)
