Input Connections

Microphone Inputs

Microphones are connected to the CAM2 using the MIC1 through MIC 4 connectors. The CAM2 uses male XLR type connectors for making connections to its inputs. Microphones typically accept female XLR connectors. Cables with male and female XLR connectors already attached are commonly available at retail stores or through Bogen. The figure below shows the connection of various microphones.

Phantom Power

Each MIC input has a PHANTOM switch associated with it.This

switch must be set correctly for the type of microphone being used with that MIC input. Microphones come in two basic types: Dynamic and Electret Condenser. When using Dynamic microphones, set the PHANTOM switch for that microphone

input to OFF. When using an Electret Condenser microphone, set the PHANTOM switch to ON. Elecret Condenser microphones require a DC voltage to power their internal circuitry.When the PHANTOM switch is set to ON, the microphone input will supply a DC voltage back to the Electret Condenser microphone through the microphone cable (this is called providing Phantom Power to the microphone).

If the PHANTOM switch is set to ON when using a Dynamic microphone, you may hear a loud pop every time the microphones ON/OFF switch is changed. If you do hear this, then check that the PHANTOM switch for that micro- phone input is set properly.
