3 When using the phantom microphone (which requires + 48 V power supply), set the INPUT 1/2 (MIC POWER +48V) switches to ON.

ON: (When using the phantom microphone)

+48 V power supply to INPUT 1/2 terminals.

OFF: (When a phantom microphone is not connected)

No power supply for INPUT 1/2 terminals.

The battery will discharge faster if you use a phantom microphone.

Set to OFF if you connect equipment not compatible with +48 V. You can damage such equipment if you leave the setting at ON.

When using the AG-MC200G (optional), set the MIC GAIN item to –50 dBu.
