Recording

Record using the connected microphone or the smartphone’s built-in microphone.

  1. Set up the microphone.

    See “Connecting the microphone” and “About the microphone’s orientation during recording.”

  2. Change the recording settings.

    See “Changing the recording settings.”

  3. Launch the “Spatial Audio Video Tool” app.

    Follow the on-screen instructions.

  4. Use the ATT switch to change the attenuator setting while monitoring the peak level meter.

    If the “OVER” indicator light is on, distortion may occur. Set the ATT switch to “10dB” or “20dB.”

    Hint

    • Set the ATT switch to a setting where the peak level remains around -12 dB on the level meter.
  5. Tap the recording start button (A) on the recording screen on the app.
