How is the recording volume controlled?
The WS-100 always records at 100% volume level to prevent accidentally recording with the volume set too low. The recorder has two levels of microphone sensitivity: • LO is a low-sensitivity level used for up-close recording such as dictation. • HI is a high-sensitivity level used in conference or lecture situations. Microphone sensitivity is set via the MIC function in the recorder Menu.
The VN-2000 always records at 100% volume level to prevent accidentally recording with the volume set too low. The recorder has two microphone sensitivity levels: • LOW is a low sensitvity level used for close-up recording. • HIGH (default) is a high sensitvity level used in conference or lecture situations. Microphone sensitvity is set in the recorder Menu. The function is identified by an icon that looks like a microphone.
The DS-40 always records at 100% volume level to prevent accidentally recording with the volume set too low The recorder has three levels of microphone sensitivity : • LECTURE: The highest recording sensitivity, it is suitable for conferences with large crowds and recording audio at a distance at low volume. • CONF (Conference): Suitable for recording meetings and seminars with a small number of people. • DICT (Dictation): The lowest recording sensitivity, it is suitable for close-up dictation. Microphone sensitivity is set via the [MIC SENSE] slide switch on the upper left side of the recorder.

It is recommended to do a test recording to preset the appropriate recording level for the situation involved. The recording level cannot be changed while recording.
