Recording Options - iKEY-AUDIO RM3 Manuel D'instructions

The MIC-LINE switch represents what type of signal is coming
in to be recorded, and it corresponds to where it is connected
on the unit. If the signal is connected to a Line input then the
switch should be set to LINE, and if it is connected to a Mic
signal the switch should be set to MIC. (MIC-LINE Switch (20))

Recording Options

With the RM3, several different types of recordings can be made. The FOR-
MAT/STEREO-MONO (18) button is used to set what bit rate format to
record as, and whether to record in Stereo or Mono.
*Note: These settings can only be selected when you first enter record mode,
and cannot be changed once a recording has begun.
To enter record mode, press the RECORD (14) button. Before recording,
push the FORMAT/STEREO-MONO button down to alternate between bit
rate formats.
(Included bit rate formats are listed as follows)
Bit Rate Format Quality
128kbps (MP3) Lowest Quality
256kbps (MP3) Medium Quality
320kbps (MP3)
Good Quality
44.1kHZ (WAV) Highest Quality
To switch between Stereo & Mono settings, press and hold the FORMAT/
STEREO-MONO button down in record mode.
*Note: When using a mono signal source, such as a guitar, be sure to set the
unit to MONO mode, otherwise only the left channel will be recorded and
heard upon playback.

If a recording is set as stereo (pictured), there will be two bars present in the
STEREO-MONO Signal gauge section. If it is set as mono, there will be one
bar present.
When a signal is too loud, distortion and clipping can occur. However, a signal
that is too low may sound muffled or not be audible at all.
To get the best recordings, you must apply the maximum possible signal that
the unit can accept without overloading. When a signal becomes too loud
for the unit, the Stereo-Mono Signal gauge (shown in record mode) appears
Red.
To find the max possible recording level follow these steps:
1) Raise the level to where it just begins to overload/ distort/ clip
(appear red).
2) From there slightly lower the level with the Rec Level Jog wheel until
it does not overload (*Note: turning the jog wheel clockwise raises
the signal & counterclockwise lowers the signal level).
