• Off: No microphone power is supplied.
Microhone Recommendations:
Professional condenser microphone(s) (which require additional power from either the
PMD661MKIII's phantom power or from another source) are recommended because they provide
greater sensitivity and higher quality audio recording.
Dynamic microphone(s) can be used, but they do not yield optimum audio quality recordings in
some applications.
Consult with your local dealer to select the appropriate microphone(s) for your specific
application. In many cases, they can demonstrate the various performances and characteristics
of microphones for your use.
Pre Record
When PreRecord is on and the PMD661MKIII is in record pause, it listens to the selected audio
input(s) and continuously buffers 2 seconds of audio. Then, when record is started, the
PMD661MKIII writes the previously buffered 2 seconds of audio to the card and continues to
record from there.
Setup PreRecord in the preset menu.
Audio Filter
Low Cut Filter
The bass region of the input audio is cut as the audio is recorded. Set to On to reduce noise,
such as the sound of the wind when recording outdoors.
Setup Low Cut in the preset menu.
