3.Place the tube with the microphone into the holder with the split facing upwards. Mount the microphone as straight as possible.
4.Ensure that the rubber supports at the back and front of the holder fit into the rims (6) around the tube.
5.Close the holder and tighten the knurled screw at the top. Don’t allow the wind hood to touch the holder (7) as this reduces the damping effect.

7.Place the microphone cable into the top clip at the front of the camera and into clip (4) at the side of the camera. (Pull and twist clip to open it.)
Other microphones with a diameter of 21mm can also be used, however, ensure that the sensitivity of the input that match that type of microphone are correctly selected in the camera INSTALL menu. When a longer microphone is used, it is not necessary to place it in the split tube. Phantom power is always present on the front microphone socket.
