AXIS Q6034 PTZ Dome Network Camera
Video and Audio
Source - Select Microphone for an external microphone or Line for a Line in device, e.g. an audio mixer for multiple microphones or
a microphone with a built-in amplifier.
Microphone power - The Enable microphone power option provides DC power for an external microphone. Microphone power
should only be used with microphones that have no battery. This setting should not be enabled when using a dynamic or battery
powered microphone. Microphone power will no t harm the microphone; if you are uncertain, try switching it off and on. To use a
professional microphone requiring 48V phantom power, you need an external power supply and a balanced-unbalanced converter
(audio transformer) in between.
Input gain - Control the volume (dB Full Scale) of the aud io input. If the sound is too low, choose a higher dB, to amplify the
sound. If the sound is too high, choose a lower dB. The Level bar gives a visual representa tion of the audio signal level in dB
relative to the full-scale input level.
• Green — the signal is at a good level.
• Yellow — the signal is becoming distorted.
• Red — the signal is distorted.
Encoding - Select digital audio encoding format.
• AAC requires a license for both encoding and decoding. AAC is the least complicated and most widely used codec.
If achieving the best possible audio quality is a priority, AAC is the recommended codec to use. A n AAC license
is included in the Axis product.
• G711
• G726
Sample rate - The number of times per second the sound is sampled. A higher sample rate will provide better audio quality, but
also requires a greater bandwidth.
Bit rate - Set the required bit rate depending on the selected encoding. A higher bit rate will give better audio quality. A lower bit
rate may have latency or delay, but will require less bandwidth.

Audio Output
An external speaker can be connected to the product’s Audio-out connector (a built-in amplifier is required for this). The output can
be connected to another amplifier with speakers. A stereo connector must be used for the audio out.
Configure the audio output settings under Video & Audio > Audio Settings.
Note
A multi-connector cable (available from Axis;
Multi-Connector Cable (sold separately)
) is required when connecting external
audio equipment to the Axis product.
Output gain - Con
trol the volume (dB Full Scale) of the line audio output. If the sound is too low, choose a higher dB. If the
sound is too high, choose a lower dB.
Audio Clips
An audio clip is a sound file that can be played w hen events occur or directly from the Live View page. The audio clip must first be
uploaded to the Axis product or recorded by a microphone connected to the product.
To add, download, modify or remove audio clips, go to Video & Audio > Audio Clips. For more inform ation see the online help
