How is recording volume controlled?
The WS-500M always records at a 100% volume level to prevent accidentally recording with the volume set too low. The recorder has two microphone sensitivity levels: • Dict is a low-sensitivity level used for dictation and up-close recording. • Conf is a high-sensitivity level that can record surrounding sounds. It is useful in conference or lecture situations when the speaker is not near the recorder. Microphone sensitivity is set in the recorder’s menu.
