CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING MICROPHONES TO THE XLR INPUT
If you use a stereo microphone, connect it to the XLR mic inputs. If you use a single microphone, connect it to either the left or right XLR mic input. (See page 15 for further information about recording from a microphone and page 17 for information about mono recording.) If you use a microphone that requires phantom power, set phantom mode to ‘ON’ by accessing the INPUT menu (see page 15).
