Recording Audio
Selecting the Audio Input from the XLR Terminals
Using the XLR terminals CH1 and CH2, you can record audio independently to the two audio channels from a microphone or analog audio input source. Note that the camcorder’s MIC terminal is given priority over the XLR terminals. To record audio from the XLR terminals, be sure not to connect any microphones to the MIC terminal. 81
Switching Between Microphone and Line Input
Set the XLR terminal switch of the desired channel to LINE or MIC.
•To supply a microphone with phantom power, set the switch to MIC+48V instead. Make sure to connect the microphone first, before turning the phantom power on. Keep the microphone connected when turning off the phantom power.
•When using the XLR terminal to record to only one channel, use the CH1 terminal.
