AUDIO IN CH-1 or CH-2

5-5-2 Using an External Microphone

You can connect up to two external monaural microphones using the AUDIO IN CH-1 and CH-2 connectors. When using a condenser microphone that requires external power (phantom power), set the LINE/ MIC/+48 V ON switch to +48 V ON.

If the microphone being used does not require external power (dynamic microphone), set the LINE/MIC/+48 V ON switch to MIC.

Using a detached external microphone

Set the LINE/MIC/+48 V ON

switch to +48 V ON if you use 5 an external power supply type microphone. Otherwise, set

the switch to MIC.

Monaural microphone

AUDIO IN switch: At the factory setting, when the audio cable is connected

to either the AUDIO IN CH-1 or CH-2 connector,

the signal input to the AUDIO IN CH-1 or CH-2 connector is automatically selected as the signal to be recorded. This is true regardless of the AUDIO IN switch setting. (This is called XLR connection automatic detection function.)

When the XLR connection automatic detection function is set to OFF on the VTR MODE 1 page of the MAINTENANCE menu, set the AUDIO IN switch corresponding to the channel to which the microphone is connected to REAR.
