caused by a sudden input of loud sound,

To position the recorder using the tripod
(not supplied)
By attaching an optional tripod (VCT-PCM1)

can adjust the angles of the recorder and the
microphones more precisely. This also
prevents noise caused when holding the
recorder in your hand.

By fitting the optional wind screen (AD-
PCM1) to the built-in microphones, you can
reduce noise caused by wind or breath that
hits the microphones directly.
