Switch the connected audio input signal
with the INPUT1 LINE/MIC switch or INPUT2
LINE/MIC switch.
<LINE>: (When connecting audio device)
The input level is 0 dBu.
<MIC>: (When connecting an external
microphone)
The factory setting for input level is -50 dBu.
The input level can be changed to [-40dB] or
[-60dB] with the [MIC GAIN1] item and [MIC
GAIN2] item on the setup menu [RECORDING
SETUP] screen. (Page 86) However, sensitivity
will be higher when set to [-60dB], and more
noise may be recorded.

When using the phantom microphone (which
requires +48V power supply)
Set the INPUT1 switch (MIC POWER+48V) and
INPUT2 switch (MIC POWER+48V) to <ON>.
<ON>: (When connecting the phantom
microphone)
+48V power is supplied to AUDIO INPUT1/2
terminals.
<OFF>: (When not connecting the phantom
microphone)
+48V power is not supplied to AUDIO
INPUT1/2 terminals.
When you use a phantom microphone, the
battery duration will become shorter.
When devices that do not support +48V
power supply are connected, set the phantom
microphone to <OFF>. If set to <ON>, the
connected devices might be damaged.
When using the AG-MC200G (optional), set
the [MIC GAIN1] or [MIC GAIN2] item of the
[RECORDING SETUP] screen to [-50dB].
