Canon XL2 Camcorder User Manual


 
The sound
of artistic freedom.
FOUR CHANNEL DIGITAL AUDIO
The XL2 records in digital stereo sound.
Select from 16 bit audio (2 channels,
48 Khz) or 12 bit (4 channels, 32 Khz)
and from Line or Mic level audio
sources to ensure an accurate
impedance match. You can monitor
the levels on an illuminated VU metre
equipped with a 24-segment peak
holder, split into right and left – this
can be viewed either on the side LCD
or through the EVF.
MANUAL AUDIO CONTROL
The XL2 allows you to adjust the Left
and Right channels separately, as well
as control all four audio channels via
separate dials on the body
rather
than adjusting them in the LCD menu.
XLR CONNECTION
AND PHANTOM POWER
The XL2 is fitted with two built-in XLR
terminals for use with professional
audio equipment. It also features a
BNC video connector for output to a
professional video monitor (to check
image and composition). The XL2 can
supply 48V Phantom Power through
the XLR terminals for battery-less
microphones.
HIGH PERFORMANCE
MICROPHONE
The XL2 comes with a high
performance MS system Stereo
Electrolet Capacitor microphone
as standard for excellent frequency
response performance.
HEADPHONE JACK
Check your volume and balance during
recording with the adjustable volume
headphone terminal
made entirely of
durable metal.
The XL2 delivers all the audio results you could want – and
it can all be configured manually for total creative control.
Four separate audio
channels are
controlled through the
independent
audio controls.
