Below are some examples showing how to set the Channel setting for several common microphone configurations.

Record Using the Acoustic Stub Microphones (Default)

The Song Meter SM5 ships with two stub microphones preinstalled on the left and right sides of the recorder. The default channel mapping uses these two microphones to record two channels of audio.

Channel Microphone
Acoustic Channel 1 Left stub microphone
Acoustic Channel 2 Right stub microphone

Record Using One Stub Microphone and One External Microphone

One way to record audio from two points as part of a time-of-arrival localization setup is to use one of the stub microphones attached to the recorder, plus an external microphone connected via a long cable.

There are two possible configurations for this scenario, depending on which external microphone port you use:

Channel Microphone
Acoustic Channel 1 Left stub microphone
Acoustic Channel 2 External microphone 2
Channel Microphone
Acoustic Channel 1 External microphone 1
Acoustic Channel 2 Right stub microphone

Record Using Two External Microphones

To use two external microphones, simply map each external microphone port to a channel.
