VARIETY OF WAV FILES
Formats are: 44.1/48/96 kHz indicates the sampling
rate of the analog-to-digital conversion. 16/24-bit
indicates the bit depth of the analog-to-digital con-
version.
The larger the number, the higher the sound quality,
but the files that are created are larger as well.
The WAV files recorded on STEREO/4CH/STAMINA
mode correspond to BWF (Broadcast Wave Format)
and include marks and production date.
VARIETY OF MP3
Select the bit rate which indicates information
volume per minute. The bigger the number, the low-
er the rate of compression and the higher the sound
quality. The higher compression MP3 will occupy
less space on an SD card
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) means the bit rate (record-
ing quality) is automatically adjusted based on input
information.

How to use WAV and MP3 format
• The WAV FILES with no compression are used for
high quality sound recording. Because data is not
compressed, the volume of the file will increase
compare to MP3 format.
• MP3 FILES decrease the sound quality because of
data compression, but are useful to save SD card
capacity and to record much more sounds.
